Inhaltsangabe

The Kepesh trilogy spans three decades of Philip Roth’s career, beginning with The Breast in 1972, and continuing with the Professor of Desire in 1977 and The Dying Animal in 2001. This study demonstrates that the trilogy is not only worthy of critical analysis in its own right, but also that an appreciation of its themes and strategies deepens our understanding of his entire fictional enterprise, offering an invaluable perspective on one of the world’s most important novelists. Paul McDonald works at the University of Wolverhampton where he is Senior Lecturer in American Literature, and Course Leader for Creative Writing. Among his other HEB titles are The Philosophy of Humour (2012), and Reading Beloved (2014). Samantha Roden is a Lead Practitioner for English at North East Wolverhampton Academy. She writes educational resources, digital pedagogical guides and conducts national webinars for Cambridge University Press. Her first full collection of poetry, Catch Ourselves in Glass, is forthcoming.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

When Paul McDonald walked onto the USC campus as a freshman quarterback he was ninth on the depth chart. He started as a 9th Stringer! To make matters worse, Vince Evans, the Trojans starting quarterback was stronger, faster, bigger, and could throw the ball waaaaay further than Paul. "If that is what it means to be a quarterback at USC I have no chance," was racing through Paul's mind. Paul went from this humble position at USC to becoming a starter on the Trojans national championship football team, an All-American quarterback, and an eight year career in the NFL. How did Paul do it? He discovered his own path to becoming the best quarterback he could be and not someone else's version of one. Paul spent countless hours in the film room to elevate himself into being a top level cerebral quarterback, which led him to Rose Bowl triumphs and the opportunity to play in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys.Paul's journey provided him with the thrill of running through NFL football stadiums, but he was also forced to make the rough transition to sitting in a corporate office cubicle. This path led to some unhappy times for Paul until he discovered the secrets of diving inward to find the things in life that he truly loved, even at the same job that he previously disliked. His story provides great hope to people struggling with being at a place in life that lacks purpose and joy.
