Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Good. Please see any and all photos connected with this listing. A bit scuffed but all pages intact and legible. Good reading copies. Clean. Store Stamped.--- --- PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT --- Philip Roth's 1969 novel--brilliant, bawdy, shocking, and hilarious--tapped into the so-called "sexual revolution" of the late 1960s in its eagerness to break taboos. Its confessional frankness and irreverent take on family life changed American literature forever. Structured in the form of a long session with his psychoanalyst, the book explores lawyer Alexander Portnoy's failures as a man and a lover. Portnoy?s troubles can be traced to the repressive, hypocritical, and anti-Semitic culture in which he was raised--and more specifically, in his mind, to his comically overbearing Jewish mother. The book was not only a best-seller; it has been called one of the best American novels ever. --- OUR GANG --- The character of Tricky presents one of the greatest hypocritical opportunists, an unprincipled self-seeker in this satirical vision of a debased national leadership speaking a language that is designed to make lies sound truthful. . .See photos for additional content. . .
