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.

Best mount for Gen 2 Tacoma.
Sturdy, fits good, and simple. Can’t close vent, but I expected it and it’s worth the trade-off. Highly recommended.

Finally a mount for my truck!
2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. I've tried many different mounts - ones that stuck to the dash, stuck to the windshield, one that mounted in the cup holder in the console. They all were bad in their own way. This Offroam mount finally got it right. Easy installation - and when I say SOLID hold I mean it. No movement, no rattle, do creaking sound, etc, etc. I was very skeptical of the one-handed use getting the phone in and out but it's really a genius design. Seriously - I just got it, so can't really speak to longevity yet. Judging by the design and quality of parts, I'll say it will be the last mount I ever purchase for this truck. Pay the extra, and be happy.

Great Quality, Perfect Fit
2015 Tacoma. This fit perfectly and is solid. Last/Different one I had on another vehicle broke one of my vent dividers. That can't happen with this design. Worth the money. Would absolutely recommend.
