About this listen

El mal de Portnoy, escrita en tono subversivo y directo, es un monólogo de un joven soltero judío que se confiesa con su psicoanalista en un lenguaje "íntimo, detallado y abusivo".

Portnoy, mal de [llamado así por Alexander Portnoy (1933-)]: trastorno en el que los impulsos altruistas y morales se experimentan con mucha intensidad, pero se hallan en perpetua guerra con el deseo sexual más extremado y, en ocasiones, perverso.

Al respecto dice Spielvogel: "Abundan los actos de exhibicionismo, voyeurismo, fetichismo y autoerotismo, así como el coito oral; no obstante, y como consecuencia de la 'moral' del paciente, ni la fantasía ni el acto resultan en una auténtica gratificación sexual, sino en otro tipo de sentimientos, que se imponen a todos los demás: la vergüenza y el temor al castigo, sobre todo en forma de castración" (Spielvogel, O., "El pene confuso", Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, vol. XXIV, p. 909). Spielvogel considera que estos síntomas pueden remontarse a los vínculos que hayan prevalecido en la relación madre-hijo.

Reseña:

"Roth es el escritor más valiente de Estados Unidos. Es moralmente valiente, políticamente valiente. Y Portnoy es parte de esa valentía." (Cynthia Ozick)
