The Dying Animal

The Dying Animal (2001) is a short novel by Philip Roth.
I think this book is so well written.
Not a classic book, but a very good read.
Saw Elegy before I read it, I think movie did a good job too.
But I like the book better...

Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity. - W.B Yeats (source)

Yeah... I don't know if you will like the book as much as I do.
I think Roth wrote it from the viewpoint of all man very much so...
