This came heartily recommended by Eric . I thought it was good, but it didn't really push my buttons. At the time it was written, however, it must have been quite controversial. It's not often you see such a literal literary treatment of "man's pursuit of pussy". I'm interested to read more of Roth's work, but I don't know how much "Angry Young Jew Schtick" I can take.
