"From Italy, a wildly modern riff on Ovid's Metamorphoses - a whirlwind of ironic fables in which the central hero, Viskovitz, continually changes identities in pursuit of his one true love.".
"A snail with two sexes, a parrot who speaks of love, a dormouse who has erotic dreams, a police dog who's a Buddhist, a microbe with an inferiority complex, a lion in love with a gazelle, a chameleon hoping to find himself, an intestinal worm, a dung beetle . Viskovitz is each of these animals and many more, possessed by their behaviors, their neuroses, their vanities. And the gorgeous and impossible Ljuba, the object of Viskovitz's desire, is in turn a sow, a bitch, a gazelle.
There is an animal passion between them that lasts from story to story; but it is the fullness of the human condition that is portrayed most vividly in these hilarious metamorphoses."--BOOK JACKET.
