Review
'Interweaves a nightmare and a day-dream... Terrifying' W.H. Auden; 'Written from the devil's side' Graham Greene
About the Author
Frederick Rolfe has written perverse yet classic accounts of his life which have drawn bestselling writers such as Graham Greene, W.H. Auden and A.S. Byatt to him. His love for Venice was such that he could not bear to leave it even though he was penniless during the years he wrote this book, was shunned by Italians and English alike and died. Andrew Eburne is a don at St Catherine's College Oxford.
