Philip Roth wrote quite a lot of novels and although the name is familliar to me, this is the first one I read. The original title is The Dying Animal and it was published in 2001. The speaker is David Kepesh, white-haired and over sixty, an eminent cultural critic and star lecturer at a New York college as well as an articulate propagandist of the sexual revolution. For years he has made a practice of sleeping with adventurous female students while maintaining an aesthete s critical distance. But now that distance has been annihilated. In chronicling this descent, Philip Roth performs a breathtaking set of variations on the themes of eros and mortality, license and repression, selfishness and sacrifice. The Dying Animal is a burning coal of a book, filled with intellectual heat and not a little danger.
Surprise, surprise, the nail polish I'm wearing is not from Essence, nor Catrice :) This one is O.P.I. with the name German-i-cure by OPI.
Have a great day!
