Táto séria skúma hlboké a často bolestné aspekty ľudskej existencie, zameriavajúc sa na zložitosť vzťahov, lásky a identity. S nekompromisnou úprimnosťou a prenikavou psychologickou hĺbkou sa autorka ponára do vnútorného sveta postáv, odhaľujúc ich túžby, strachy a hľadanie zmyslu. Každý príbeh je majstrovskou štúdiou charakteru, ktorá zanecháva čitateľov zamyslených nad vlastnými životnými voľbami a ľudskou povahou.
Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka's protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of this fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a funny exploration of the implications of metamorphosis.
As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself "a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes". Little does he realize how prophetic this motto will be--or how damning. For as we follow Kepesh into the wilderness of erotic possibility, we discover an intelligent and often hilarious novel about the dilemma of pleasure. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
