Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Praise for the French edition:

"Sollers wants his hero to shock us still, challenge our orthodoxies, scoff at our timidity and political correctness. A very readable, often perceptive response to the Histoire de ma vie which consciously sets out to tell us about our own prejudices and preoccupations as much as those of his subject."--Times Literary Supplement

"Our thanks to Philippe Sollers for having restored to us an ungraspable and unpredictable Casanova."--Le Nouvel Observateur

"Fills a gap between the less accessible scholarly studies and the popular, often inaccurate, literature on Casanova. If this territory has already been well-traveled, a new perspective and innovative approach make it seem fresh and appealing."--Eighteenth Century Studies
