A fine display of literary skills. --New York Times Book ReviewPhilip Roth's profound and often hilarious novel--the central book in Roth's Kepesh trilogy--about where we seek pleasure and why we flee it.​​​​​​​As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes. Little does he realize how prophetic his motto will be--or how damning. For as Roth follows Kepesh from the domesticity of childhood into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a m nagetrois in London to the throes of loneliness in New York, Kapesh confronts the central dilemma of pleasure: how to make a truce between dignity and desire; and how to survive the ordeal of an unhallowed existence.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/06/349/989/0063499894_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "19.99", "online_price" : "19.99", "our_price" : "19.99", "club_price" : "19.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
