About

A ribald tale from Britain's best-love Science Fiction writer.

“The Cretan Teat” is a bawdy novel, telling the extraordinary tale a Byzantine painting of the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus.

This false icon gets adopted by the people, and so becomes instrumental in the downfall of mankind.

This is a story where the narrator, the author, is regularly caught with his trousers down.

It is at once funny and important, a post-modern text reminiscent of Pirandello, where sexcapades brush shoulders with the end of the world.
