No doubt you have heard of Casanova, the famous womanizer, and
maybe you've seen the movie, or read the account of his life. But
did you know he may have had a gay brother? Benedetto, a few years
Giacomo's junior, was pressed into service of the Church, to follow
the famous lover of women through the courts of Europe. On the way
he had amorous adventures with countless men, but, unlike his
brother, fell in love and kept alive a romantic relationship with a
strapping German soldier over time and distance. Benedetto
Casanova's (fictional) memoirs were discovered only in 1881, when
an English traveler rummaging through a private library in Rome
found them glued to the pages of a book. They were written in
Italian and have never before been published in English. Marten
Weber delivers a wonderful "translation" of this challenging text,
full of linguistic cunning and his usual talent for breathtaking
eroticism.
