Abstract
The article analyzes Henri Robillot's 1979 translation of Philip Roth's The Professor of Desire (1977) into French. It demonstrates the manner in which apparently minor stylistic choices, slight omissions, and more generally the stylistic treatment of male and female characters in the translation constitute a strategy of excessive interpretation and gender politics traced back to the critical reception of Roth's work. Through the analysis of the translation, the article aims to improve the analytical perception of the novel.
