Cretan Teat, Paperback / softback Book

Cretan Teat Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A ribald tale from Britain’s best-love Science Fiction writer. The Cretan Teat is a bawdy novel, telling the extraordinary tale a Byzantine painting of the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus. This false icon gets adopted by the people – and so becomes instrumental in the downfall of mankind. This is a story where the narrator – the author – is regularly caught with his trousers down. It is at once funny and important, a post-modern text reminiscent of Pirandello, where sexcapades brush shoulders with the end of the world.
