Professor of Desire follows David Kepesh from the domesticity of childhood into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a menage a trois in London to the throes of loneliness in New York. Roth creates a supremely intelligent, affecting, and often hilarious novel about the dilemma of pleasure: where we seek it; why we flee it; and how we struggle to make a truce between dignity and desire.

Review:
" Ranks among the major achievements in the literature of our time." -- "Village Voice"
" No one writing can juggle the somber and the ludicrous more adroitly than Roth." -- "Time"
" Philip Roth is a great historian of modern eroticism.... [He] speaks of a sexuality that questions itself; it is still hedonism, but it is problematic, wounded, ironic hedonism. His is the uncommon union of confession and irony. Infinitely vulnerable in his sincerity and infinitely elusive in his irony." -- Milan Kundera
" A thoughtful...elegant novel.... A fine display of literary skills." -- "The New York Times Book Review"
