from Part II - Critical Contexts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 July 2021
David Kepesh, the protagonist of The Breast (1972), The Professor of Desire (1977), and The Dying Animal (2001), is one such protagonist. This chapter will discuss “The Kepesh novels” as a whole, addressing the benefits and drawbacks of considering these novels as a neatly combined unit, and examining their place within Roth’s body of work as a whole, commenting on what they reveal evolution of his ideas about literature, psychoanalysis, masculinity, and aging.
