"The Breast" by Philip Roth ****

• US author
• Originally published in 1972
• Review:  Only Philip Roth could tell this story of a middle aged man who metamorphoses into a 155 pound breast.  Yes, you read that right.  This is unlike any other novel I have read by Roth due to its Kafkaesque nature.  What does it mean to change from a person to an object?  Roth is somehow able to do the question justice with wit and psychological depth.  Wonderful novella!
