Book Description

David Kepesh is white-haired and over sixty, an eminent TV culture critic and star lecturer at a New York College, when he meets Consuela Castillo, a decorous, well-mannered student of twentyfour, the daughter of wealthy Cuban exiles, who promptly puts his life into erotic disorder and haunts him for the next eight years. Since the sexual revolution of the 1960s freed him from his wife and child, Kepesh has experimented with living what he calls an 'emancipated manhood' beyond the reach of family or a mate. Over the years, he has refined that exuberant decade of protest and licence into an orderly way of life in which he is both unimpeded in the world of Eros and studiously devoted to his aesthetic pursuits. But the youth and beauty of this 'newly-hatched' woman - 'a masterpiece,' as Kepesh describes Consuela, 'of volupte' - undo him completely. His worldliness, his confidence, his reason desert him, and on the brink of old age, a maddening sexual possessiveness transports him to the depths of deforming jealousy. The light-hearted erotic tale with which he began evolves into a poignant, tragic story of love and loss. The Dying Animal is vintage Roth fiction, a masterpiece of passionate immediacy. It is intellectually bold, forcefully candid, wholly of our time, and utterly without precedent - a story of sexual discovery told about himself by a man of seventy.

The Dying Animal is the latest addition to Philip Roth's already considerable and highly celebrated oeuvre. The protagonist is David Kepesh, a recurring protagonist in Roth's work, having been introduced first in the Kafkaesque 1972 novella, The Breast, and again in The Professor of Desire (1979). Kepesh, now a 70-year-old arts critic and lecturer in critical theory, is a sexual adventurer, who feels himself liberated from marriage, children and old school sexual mores by the 1960s sexual revolution, and uses his celebrity and intellectual reputation to seduce the young women that he tutors. Written in the form of a conversational confession, Roth has Kepesh introduce the method of his sexual conquests and then the foil to his method, the beautiful, mannered and busty Consuela Castillo. So begins a description of a descent into the madness of love; "crazy distortions of longing, doting, possessiveness ... this need, this derangement. Will it ever stop?"

. What begins as a chronology of sexual conquest becomes an exquisite meditation on the destructive and addictive nature of love and lust. Notions of social freedom, and sexual emancipation are explored as Kepesh, who for so long has considered himself a free animal, finds himself caged in by his obsession. His journey of sexual discovery becomes one of self-discovery, and as his life journey nears its close he also begins to realise in himself and those around him, "the dying animal" (from Yeats' poem "Sailing to Byzantium"),a different beast to the sexual animal yet still entwined with it through shared flesh.

This is a sexually candid novel, a brave and daring one, a novel that does not blink in the admission that so many of our actions are motivated by the sexual. In this it is reminiscent of the writings of Henry Miller, which are mentioned among the many literary references that populate this book. Every line of Roth's prose brings a desire to read the next; it is brilliantly written, and like the Yeats poem from which it draws inspiration, it is open to much interpretation.

                             --Iain Robinson

評分

我承認,第一次閱讀是把它當作一本洛麗塔式的色情小說來看的。 今天早晨吃完早點,從床頭的一堆書中偶然抽齣這本,再次翻看,發現開篇的“一切都有待藝術來拯救”竟然是孫甘露先生的文字,不免又起重新閱讀的念想,索性揣包裏帶到公司。由於今天是第一天上班不會很忙,找瞭個安...  

評分

先看電影《挽歌》,爾後讀瞭原著小說《垂死的肉身》。由於電影影像的局限性,或者導演的鏡頭缺乏超常規的想象力和錶現力,無法精準地具象這樣一部飽含大量心理描寫的故事,電影因此沒能達到小說的深度。這樣的遺憾,在看以香味描寫見長的小說《香水》改編的電影中同樣存在...  

評分

故事的作者是一個年過七旬的教授,而作為讀者的我,剛好是年輕的上過大學的女生。看著這個老男人以他的角度、他的感受來講述這個也許是真實的故事,剛開始多少有點惡心(原諒我的思想跟康秀拉一樣古闆),慢慢的(作為現階段我隻是看到的感情問題),發覺這個老男人很可憐...

the essence of the book is mistaken by many i would said. It is disguised as a book on sex between a young girl and an experienced older Man. It is in fact a book about a hunter who gets hunted himself. A book about love. The love he develops for her.

美國六十年代至今的個人縱欲史。印象深的隻有一個鏡頭,"Yes, that was something, wasn't it?" Kate said. And then with her weary smile she added, "I wonder who it is he thought I was." (另,豆瓣第二條評論是譯文原文。。。

雞肋。滔滔宏論非常經不起推敲,後半部分又是感傷筆調。對“城鄉結閤部失足少女”的分析實在是……
