This is the book that put onanism on the literary map; but much
more than that, it is a riotous account of adolescence under the
smothering eye of a Jewish mother. Roth has gone on to write deeper
works but none half as exuberant. First published in 1969. (Kirkus
UK)
The famous confession of Alexander Portnoy's who is thrust through life by his unappeasable sexuality, yet held back at the same time by the iron grip of his unforgetable childhood.
