About this listen

Philip Roth, one of the best-known and award winning literary masters of our time, engages his readership with insightful and challenging novels of the human condition.

With The Dying Animal, he revisits the character David Kepesh. At age 60, Kapesh is drawn out of his carefully ordered existence and into an obsessive affair with one of his students.

"A distinguished addition to Roth's increasingly remarkable literary career." ( The San Francisco Chronicle)
“Roth is a mesmerizing writer, whose very language has the vitality of a living organism.” ( Los Angeles Times)
