Summary
"The myth, which is the basis of Dr. Radin's scientific study, is one of the most imaginative narratives known to man. It concerns the exploits of a grotesque individual whose main physical features are enormous digestive and sexual organs and who unites in himself some of the traits of a god, an animal, and a human being."--Jacket
