Book Synopsis
This translation of Antonio Panormita's "Hermaphroditus" brings life to the Renaissance writer's bawdy masterpiece. The yarn, first published in 1425, was intially greeted with enthusiasm by humanist scholars, only to be reviled and censured as obscene by Christian apologists.

Trade Review
Panormita has finally found a home in the English speaking world. Eugene O'Connor's beautiful translation has captured the spirit and the depth of the frivolous Panormita. -- Gareth Schmeling, University of Florida
