{"product_id":"2940172609831","title":"The Breast","description":"Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka's protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of Philip Roth's richly conceived fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of Kepesh's metamorphosis-a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Breast is terrific . . . inventive and sane and very funny. The trick which is the heart of the book is brilliant . . . and rich with meaning.\"-John Gardner, The New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hilarious, serious, visionary, logical, sexual-philosophical; the ending amazes-the joke takes three steps beyond savagery and satire and turns into a sublimeness of pity. One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture.\"-Cynthia Ozick","brand":"Brilliance Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151133491440,"sku":"2940172609831","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940172609831_p0.jpg?v=1763841974","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940172609831","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
