«El animal moribundo» (Elegy) is the psychological novel by Philip Roth, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (128 pages, in Spanish).
David Kepesh, cultural critic and university professor, recalls his relationship with Consuela Castillo, a young Cuban student. The erotic affair turns into jealousy and fear of loss, and Roth explores desire, old age, and mortality. The title alludes to W. B. Yeats's poem «Navegando hacia Bizancio».
Third installment of the David Kepesh series. The work was originally published in 2001 as The Dying Animal, translated by Jordi Fibla.
For readers of contemporary fiction and psychological novels, fans of Philip Roth, and viewers of Isabel Coixet's movie adaptation.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
