Marine's review
The Dying Animal by Philip Roth
This is the first book of Roth I read. I really loved it. Like I loved "Au delà de cette limite votre ticket n'est plus valable' by Romain Gary. These stories of old men, tough lovers, mean mens, but honest with themselves and with women, who find love with a young person totally idealized by them. And then they know, they suffer and I like how are described "les chagrins d'amour" of these mens. I have the feeling, reading books like these, that mens know what is "un chagrin d'amour" when they become older and not as powerful as they used to be.
