Su questo libro

Recensione:

A pungent historical fiction on a par with Patrick Suskind's Perfume. --The Independent on Sunday Summer Reading Selection

Madsen's tale of how Peppe becomes the Pope's companion and is forced to choose between his master and his beliefs displays both erudition and a real storyteller's gift. --Erica Wagner in The Times

Madsen's book is essentially a romp, although an unusually erudite one, and his scatological and bloody look at the Renaissance is grotesque, fruity and filthy. --Phil Baker in The Sunday Times

L'autore:

His baroque talent is best seen in his novels; Memoirs of a Gnostic Dwarf, The Confessions of a Flesh-Eater and A Box of Dreams and the cult cookbook Orlando Crispe's Flesh-Eater's Cookbook.
