Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Breadmakers Carnival
In the town of Bacherotto, remarkable forces of faith, sex, and hunger are driving the inhabitants into uncontrollable frenzies of bizarre and unexplained behaviors. The baker Gianni Terremoto begins to knead his rolls and sourdough breads in the form of his lover's breasts. His lusty daughter, Francesca, is about to become enshrined as the new local saint. His girlfriend Luigi Bacheretti is intent on photographing God. The local priest is convinced that the Virgin Mary has appeared to him, demanding that his congregation renounce the flesh -- an imperative that comes shortly after two amputees stage a popular ballet recital that celebrates the leg.
These extraordinary events occur in the year when Good Friday and April Fool's Day coincide. Gainni, born on April Fool's Day Day, decides to bake a hot cross bun surpassing any that has ever been. The results -- hilarious, surprising, rejuvenating -- are beyond any that he and the townsfolk could have expected.
A brilliant story of what happens when Easter and Carnival collide and when the community becomes controlled by its libido, The Breadmaker's Carnival defies both the sacred and profane.

Really weird. This book is going straight on my discard pile.I could not get into it and gave up after the first CD. I thought the story was crap and I like a bit of sex in my stories but this just didn't do it for me.
Fabulous book.
I generally make it a point to finish every book I start, but I'm going to have to peace out early on this one. My dad gave it to me for my birthday, saying that he hadn't read it but a friend recommended it. I usually like the books he gives me (he has good taste and is far better read than I am), but I don't know what his friend was smoking.It's a pretty egregious García Márquez (and Heller) rip-off, and an inept one at that. There are lots of passages about farts and periods, and Lindsay
Odd, yet strangely compelling.
It was not good, couldn't get into it. A really strange book.
