In Spring a Young Man's Fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of guilt ... especially if that man is Alexander Portnoy. Hailed as one of the two or three funniest works in American fiction (Chicago Sun-Times), this scalpel-sharp satire dissects the modern American Jewish family with no mercy, as the tortured title character delivers his complaint in the form of a confession to his psychiatrist.
