Transformation of Kepesh in The Metamorphosis of Gogol style era
Book review of Susan Slevin's examination of David Kepesh, a university professor who undergoes a bizarre transformation into a giant breast after a series of titillating sensations. The narrative traces his sexual hunger, existential alienation, and Faustian descent as he becomes entirely breast after initial scholarly life and failed marriage. Themes of desire, degradation, and isolation are explored with dark humor.
