From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral: Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been
transformed—into a 155-pound breast. What follows is “terrific…inventive and sane and very funny (The New York Times Book Review).
A deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of David Kepesh’s metamorphosis—a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and
subjectivity.

“Hilarious, serious, visionary, logical, sexual-philosophical; the ending amazes—the joke takes three steps beyond savagery and satire and turns into a sublimeness of pity. One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture.” —Cynthia Ozick, author of Antiquities

PEN/Faulkner Award three times, the National Book Award, and many more. He also won the Ambassador Book Award of the English-Speaking Union and in the same year received the National Medal of Arts
