This book marks the first appearance of Professor David Kepesh, even though some of the stuff he talks about (his wife Helen and his upbringing in a hotel in the Catskills) fully appears in THE PROFESSOR OF DESIRE. Kepesh narrates the story of how he became a breast and his subsequent dealings with this transformation. Think of it as Roth's riff on Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," but more hilarious and thought-provoking.
