A cool, comic survey of a young Hungarian's sexual education, this narrative spans from his first encounter with American forces at twelve to an unsatisfactory liaison with a reporter's wife in Canada at twenty-three. Elegantly erotic, it possesses an indefinable quality and style, embodying the essence of immortality. The author writes beautifully about women, capturing their essence with sympathy and tact, while addressing sex with remarkable lucidity and grace. Like Joyce, he conveys that life transcends sex, emphasizing that sex is a part of life rather than its sole focus. The story, gracefully penned, follows a young man growing up among older women, showcasing passages that may arouse yet are imbued with "redeeming literary merit." This funny and touching novel about sex is both elegant and melodic, marked by individuality and presence. It chronicles the delightful adventures of a young Casanova who, while appreciating maturity, navigates his own growth. The narrator, at once naive and sophisticated, disarming yet arrogant, charms both his women and the reader throughout his journey.
