What We're Reading Now
"The book gives you a vibrant look into the mind of a nuerotic young man raised by a doting guilt inducing mother and a passive father. The story can be mature in content but keeps you laughing the entire read."
Debbie  Steinweg - Corporate Office, Birmingham, AL

With a new Afterword by the author for the 25th Anniversary edition.

"Touching as well as hilariously lewd.... Roth is vibrantly talented...as marvelous a mimic and fantasist as has been produced by the most verbal group in human history."
--Alfred Kazin, New York Review of Books

"Deliciously funny...absurd and exuberant, wild and uproarious... a brilliantly vivid reading experience."--New York Times Book Review
