No matter how much you know, no matter how much you think, no matter how much you plot and you connive and you plan, you’re not superior to sex. With these words our most unflaggingly energetic and morally serious novelist launches perhaps his fiercest book. The speaker is David Kepesh, white-haired and over sixty, an eminent cultural critic and star lecturer at a New York college–as well as an articulate propagandist of the sexual revolution. For years he has made a practice of sleeping with adventurous female students while maintaining an aesthete’s critical distance. But now that distance has been annihilated.
The agency of Kepesh’s undoing is Consuela Castillo, the decorous and humblingly beautiful 24-year-old daughter of Cuban exiles. When he becomes involved with her, Kepesh finds himself dragged–helplessly, bitterly, furiously–into the quagmire of sexual jealousy and loss. In chronicling this descent, Philip Roth performs a breathtaking set of variations on the themes of eros and mortality, license and repression, selfishness and sacrifice. The Dying Animal is a burning coal of a book, filled with intellectual heat and not a little danger.

潦草的看了一遍,本来为了写书评不至于东一句西一句该再看一遍,可实在没有耐心了。 首先让我想起现实生活中那些迂腐和猥琐的老知识分子,教授的身份丝毫不能减轻心态的肮脏。如果一个老的心理学教授爱上了年轻的女学生、他的一个患者,并且发展了这种关系,这美妙...
评分这是一本关于生与死的寓言,表面上Philip Roth所写的是一个退休老教授和一个叫康秀拉的女学生之间的爱情与情欲的故事,正如它的中译本扉页上所写的,他迷恋她的身体,无法自拔,渐渐地,对年龄 差距的恐惧、对青春的妒忌抽走了他的自信,他们结束了这段痛苦的感情。然而,这段...
评分《垂死的肉身》似乎是《人性的污秽》衍生产物?六旬的大学教授,爱上了自己的学生——24岁的古巴女孩康秀拉。康秀拉,一个字面上非常美的名字,一个实际上也非常美的女孩,在这里忠实的展现了自己的另一面(作者把人的两面都展现了出来),他和教授做爱,让他看自己来月经时的...
评分 评分很精彩,可以感受到很多。关于以下问题,什么是永恒不变的爱,什么是地老天荒的情感。与其说亘古不变或地老天荒,那些都只是梦想与憧憬,唯有敢于付出真情才会到爱情永在。其实美丽的爱情如同所有美丽的事物,珍惜它,爱护它,才有机会伴随它。 爱情可以没有年龄的差距,...
