The Dying Animal - Philip Roth
This is a short novel published in 2001 and the basis for the film "Elegy" directed by Isabel Coixet some years later. Let's get it straight: There's never been a novel by Roth entitled "Elegy". It just happens that his novel "Everyman" was translated to spanish as "Elegía". What a mess... Anyway, here we got Roth in one of his impersonations, David Kepesh. As usual I find the text brilliant. He writes in a kind of paroxysm about morals in american pioneers, some memories of the sixties, men and women (Consuela and himself in particualr) and father and son's affairs.
