Title : The Dying Beast - Philip Roth - book

Summary :

"A nude with opulent, slightly flared breasts, for which she could have posed herself. A nude with closed eyes, defended like her by her erotic power alone and, like her, both primal and elegant. A bronze nude mysteriously asleep on a velvety black abyss that, in my mood of the moment, I associated with that of the tomb. Tapered, undulating, she awaits you, the young girl, motionless and mute as death." On the threshold of old age, David Kepesh, an aesthete attached to his freedom and a demanding seducer, meets among his students Consuela Castillo, twenty-four years old, daughter of rich Cuban emigrants, "amazed" by culture. And discovers sexual addiction... It is the novel of a spell in an America far from the joyous bacchanalia of the sixties, dear to the Professor of Desire..; And at the turn of the millennium, this alter ego of the author, once the hero of The Breast, is confronted not only with his own aging but with the death that lurks within each of us. After The Stain, Philip Roth offers us at once a love story, an X-ray of our times, and a meditation on the human condition. A new masterpiece, of lapidary perfection.

A dizzying psychological thriller with a stunning ending.
