SIGNED by the author.The book that gained him a wide readership and that was made into a film starring Richard Benjamin as the neurotic young man obsessed with sex. Told in a continuous monolog from patient to psychoanalyst, Philip Roth's masterpiece draws us into the turbulent mind of one lust-ridden young Jewish bachelor named Alexander Portnoy.
