From Publishers Weekly-This novel of a man's sexual obsession with a Nordic beauty brings to mind the bluesy central-European passion of Milan Kundera, though here the author's lust is less adulterated by philosophical and existential musings. Kafallo ( Sappho's Folly ) recounts a relatively straightforward love story: a sex-starved Bulgarian oarsman named Andro becomes pen-pals with Vivien, a Finn, and against all odds they meet, fall in love, and soon..."their whole beings seemed fused with one another. " Aside from the passion, it's the language that takes center stage. With refreshingly quirky sentences and many an odd turn of phrase or raunchy aside, the narrator crafts a fanciful and goodnatured picaresque, occasionally redolent of a 19th-century pornographic novel, at other times graced by an elegance worthy of an Elizabethan sonnet. Though essentially lightweight, this is a bright and engaging comedy--a literary love affair, Bulgarian-style. Illustrations not seen by PW. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good.
