A review by lisasternick
Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth

5.0

I had to read this book in college. Need to re-read. I was an English Literature/Writing major and took a Sex Lit class. This was one of the selections we read. Philip Roth tests the limits of society's "what is expectable", with this tale of a young man who is telling his tale of his self sexual exploration to his psychoanalyst. This book is definitely for an open-minded reader who can handle a sexual themed literature classic.
