Media Reviews
"Kirshenbaum proves characteristically skillful at revealing what lies just beneath the surface of her heroine's bravado and detachment....at once unsettling and deeply moving."
-- San Francisco Review of Books
"Readers anxious for an entertaining female character to emulate, if only in their fantasies, will find themselves in good company." -- Louisa Ermelino
-- People
"Erotic adventures are chronicled in short crackling chapters....Most of the Ten Commandments crumble, but we remain fixed on the side of the heroine." -- Bette Pesetsky
-- Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.)
"Not many young female novelists can deal with sex, the appetite for it, and the loss of such appetite with as much candor, lack of self-protection, and humor as Binny Kirschenbaum." -- Norman Mailer

Publisher's Notes
A New York woman - married, Jewish, left-handed, she carries on three simultaneous affairs. Distant, aloof, tough-talking, she is concerned more with God than religion, and blithely breaks seven of the Ten Commandments in her search for innocence and a safe place to land. She takes the Lord's name in vain, dishonors her mother, her father, and the Sabbath. She lies. She steals, She covets. Rootless, bouncing from bed to bed, she knows she is pure of heart, if only she could find where her heart got lost. Erotic with a rare honesty, darkly humorous and profound, A Disturbance in One Place points at the small but infinitely deep cracks in our masks, drawing the reader irresistibly into the world of a woman who seems unable to decide whether she is out to prove or disprove the Talmudic wisdom that if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

by Philip Roth
"Roth is the bravest writer in the United States. He's morally brave, he's politically brave. And Portnoy is part of that bravery." —Cynthia Ozick, Newsday "Deliciously funny...absurd and exuberant, wild and uproarious... a brilliantly vivid reading experience."-- New York Times Book Review "Simply one of the two or three funniest works in American fiction." — Chicago Sun-Times "Touching as well as hilariously lewd.... Roth is vibrantly talented...as marvelous a mimic and fantasist as has been produced by the most verbal group in human history." —Alfred Kazin, New York Review of Books From the Trade Paperback edition.
