The Professor of Desire: Philip Roth

Philip Roth`s entire oeuvre - 31 books - to be reissued in electric new Vintage jackets for October 2016

As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself as `a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes` - an identity that will cling to him for a lifetime. As Philip Roth follows Kapesh from the domesticity of childhood out into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a menage a trois in London to the depths 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.
