The Professor of Desire
LJ's reviewer dubbed this volume "an entertaining, mature exploration of the conflicts of passion and reason" (LJ 9/15/77). The plot follows protagonist David Kepesh, who moves between a life of scholarship and carnal adventure. The paperback publication of Roth's Operation Shylock (LJ 4/15/93) should generate interest in this earlier novel.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
