From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author comes thoughtful and often hilarious novel about the dilemma of pleasure: where we seek it, why we flee it, and how we struggle to make a truce between dignity and desire. 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.
