Durrell's 1954 novel is essentially a translation of 19th-century Greek author Emmanuel Royidis's own comic novel about Pope John VIII, who secretly is a woman. The pontiff's tenure, however, is short-lived-roughly two years-as she dies during childbirth. More for academic collections. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
