El mal de Portnoy, escrita en tono subversivo y directo, es un monólogo de un joven soltero judío que se confiesa con su psicoanalista en un lenguaje «íntimo, detallado y abusivo».Portnoy, mal de [llamado así por Alexander Portnoy (1933- )]: trastorno en el que los impulsos altruistas y morales se experimentan con mucha intensidad, pero se hallan en perpetua guerra con el deseo sexual más extremado y, en ocasiones, perverso. Al respecto dice Spielvogel: «Abundan los actos de exhibicionismo, voyeurismo, fetichismo y autoerotismo, así como el coito oral; no obstante, y como consecuencia de la "moral" del paciente, ni la fantasía ni el acto resultan en una auténtica gratificación sexual, sino en otro tipo de sentimientos, que se imponen a todos los demás: la vergüenza y el temor al castigo, sobre todo en forma de castración» (Spielvogel, O., «El pene confuso», Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, vol. XXIV, p. 909). Spielvogel considera que estos síntomas pueden remontarse a los vínculos que hayan prevalecido en la relación madre-hijo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The groundbreaking novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral that originally propelled its author to literary stardom: told in a continuous monologue from patient to psychoanalyst, this masterpiece draws us into the turbulent mind of one lust-ridden young Jewish bachelor named Alexander Portnoy. One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years "Deliciously funny . . . absurd and exuberant, wild and uproarious . . . a brilliantly vivid reading experience"--The New York Times Book Review "Touching as well as hilariously lewd . . . Roth is vibrantly talented"--New York Review of Books Portnoy's Complaint n. [after Alexander Portnoy (1933- )] A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature. Spielvogel says: 'Acts of exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism, auto-eroticism and oral coitus are plentiful; as a consequence of the patient's "morality," however, neither fantasy nor act issues in genuine sexual gratification, but rather in overriding feelings of shame and the dread of retribution, particularly in the form of castration.' (Spielvogel, O. "The Puzzled Penis," Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, Vol. XXIV, p. 909.) It is believed by Spielvogel that many of the symptoms can be traced to the bonds obtaining in the mother-child relationship.

Nice shirt, odd fit
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
This shirt looks and feels very nice, and there's no weird stitching or loose threads, but the fit was a little off. It was a little short on my husband who is 6'1", but if he stands with his hands down it doesn't really LOOK too short. It's when he raises his arms for anything that it seems weirdly tight across his the chest and it pulls the hem of the shirt up quite a lot. This could just be a body type thing, but he doesn't have that issue in other shirts the same size and style. It's a shame because the shirt itself seems really nice.
