As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself "a rake among scholars, a
scholar among rakes." Little does he realize how prophetic this motto will
be.or how damning. For as Philip Roth follows Kepesh from the domesticity of
childhood into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a menage a trois
in London to the throes of loneliness in New York, he creates a supremely
intelligent, affecting, and often hilarious novel about the dilemma of
pleasure: where we seek it; why we flee it; and how we struggle to make a truce
between dignity and desire.
