Book summary

A comic fantasy by the British author of LUCKY JIM and THE RUSSIAN GIRL. In 1976, in a Europe in which the Protestant Reformation never occurred, Jean-Paul Sartre is a Jesuit theologian, Himmler and Beria are papal envoys, and David Hockney is working on a portrait of the Virgin and Child. In the great cathedral town of Cowley, a mad farce ensues from the efforts of high civil and ecclesiastical authorities to bring about the castration of a renowned boy soprano.
