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"
