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.
