具体描述
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.

读后感
身体所包含的人生故事和头脑一样多。 ——埃德纳·奥勃兰恩 我八年前就认识她了。她那会儿听我的课。我不再教全日制班了,准确地说是不再上文学课了——多年来就教这一个班,是个高年级的文学批评大型研讨班,名为 “实用批评”。我吸引了不少女生。原因有二。一是因为这门课程很...
评分我承认，第一次阅读是把它当作一本洛丽塔式的色情小说来看的。 今天早晨吃完早点，从床头的一堆书中偶然抽出这本，再次翻看，发现开篇的“一切都有待艺术来拯救”竟然是孙甘露先生的文字，不免又起重新阅读的念想，索性揣包里带到公司。由于今天是第一天上班不会很忙，找了个安...
评分73岁的菲利普·罗斯又出了新书：《普通人》（Everyman）。书的封套上有作家的照片，虽然老，但精神不错。这是好几十年来菲利普·罗斯第一次允许照片随书发行，据说是为了避免自传的误会。《普通人》是关于衰老和死亡的故事，主人公与作家一样都生于1933年，简短的小说开始于他...
评分先看电影《挽歌》，尔后读了原著小说《垂死的肉身》。由于电影影像的局限性，或者导演的镜头缺乏超常规的想象力和表现力，无法精准地具象这样一部饱含大量心理描写的故事，电影因此没能达到小说的深度。这样的遗憾，在看以香味描写见长的小说《香水》改编的电影中同样存在...
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，...
