- "The title of this novel alludes to what is considered by some to be the first Modern Greek novel, Rigas Phereos's 'School for Delicate Lovers.' But the allusion is surely lost on most readers, even those in Greece, because the Athenian publisher of the Greek edition (and my translator) could not find a plausible translation of the word 'pagan,' that is, one that didn't introduce pejorative connotations, and the Greek title therefore became 'The Last Summer of Innocence' - Edmund Keeley"--Written in pen on front free endpaper.
