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.

Portnoy's Complaint tells the tale of young Jewish lawyer Alexander Portnoy and his scandalous sexual confessions to his psychiatrist. As narrated by Portnoy, he takes the listener on a journey through his childhood to adolescence to present day while articulating his sexual desire, frustration and neurosis in shockingly candid ways.

Hysterically funny and daringly intimate, Portnoy's Complaint was an immediate bestseller upon its publication and elevated Roth to an international literary celebrity.

There's a reason this a modern classic. It's a terrific comedy. The narration by Ron Silver (May his memory be a blessing), with his New York accent (close enough to a Newark accent) is a perfect fit for this story.
