About This Novel

When David Kepsh was young, he pursued absolute personal freedom, followed the call of desire, and indulged himself. This kind of life made him physically and mentally exhausted. And when he got the chance to return to the right path of life, he hesitated, fearing that his freedom would be imprisoned by marriage. Later, he became a professor of comparative literature. While he was preparing to open a course to teach desire in European novels, he was thinking about life: he considered himself to be nothing more than a "Professor of Desire", stumbling between the pursuit of academic rationality and the pursuit of carnal satisfaction... "Professor of Desire" was published after "Breasts", but it is the preface of "Breasts". It traces the first half of David Kepsh's life, shows his experience and inner struggle before his "transformation", and reveals how he floated up and down in the sea of ​​desire, and finally became a victim.
