LITERATURE LESSON #17 ? THE BREAST BY PHILLIP ROTH

THE BREAST BY PHILIP ROTH........... INSTANTLY YOU`RE DRAWN TO THE TITLE (the word title has tit in it, just saying), I`VE HEARD ABOUT THIS BOOK FOR SO LONG AND FINALLY RAN INTO A FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER AT A FLEA MARKET. THE BREAST, WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LIKE? THE PLOT? THE STORY OF A MAN THAT TURNS INTO A FEMALE BREAST. IT`S A SHORT READ AT 77 PAGES BUT PRETTY FUCKIN GOOD. I WAS ORIGINALLY DRAWN TO THE AUTHOR CAUSE HE IS A NEW JERSEY NATIVE......... I`M ALWAYS DRAWN TO STORIES WITH UNDER-CURRENTS OF ALIENATION. MOST OF ROTH`S BOOKS TREAD THAT CURRENT WITH DRY WIT AND HUMOR. TRY READING IT OR DON`T.......
