In "The Great American Novel" (1973), a hilarious, bizarre, strangely poignant tall tale of American pieties & American lunacy, Roth lifts the lid on the suppressed history of the homeless Ruppert Mundys of baseball's despised & vanquished 3rd major league, turning the national pastime into unfettered picaresque farce. The cast of improbable characters includes: Gil Gamesh, the pitcher who actually tried to kill the umpire; John Baal, the ex-con first baseman, "The Babe Ruth of the Big House", who never hit a home run sober; & the House Un-American Activities Committee. "My Life as a Man" (1974) is Roth's most blistering novel, the savage, sometimes lurid account of the all-out battle waged between the young writer Peter Tarnopol & the wife who is his nemesis, his demon, & his muse. This is the treacherous world of Strindberg nearly a century later: the story of a fierce marital tragedy of obsession & blindness & desperate need. The volume closes with "The Professor of Desire" (1977), which charts the 2nd sexual metamorphosis of David Kepesh, protagonist of "The Breast". Roth follows Kepesh, an adventurous man of intelligence & feeling, into a vast wilderness of erotic possibility. "The Professor of Desire" is the troublingly affecting novel about the dilemmas of desire that prompted Milan Kundera to proclaim Roth "a great historian of modern eroticism." * ABOUT THE EDITOR: ROSS MILLER is Professor of English & Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut. His criticism has appeared in scholarly journals, The WSJ, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times. He is the author of "American Apocalypse: The Great Fire & the Myth of Chicago" & "Here's the Deal: The Buying and Selling of a Great American City". * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).
