Percival Everett, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of James, takes readers inside the world of Greek god Dionysos and his quest for satiation in this re-issue of Frenzy. In Ancient Greece, Dionysos, an eccentric half-man and half-God, lords over wine, excess, and pleasure. And yet he is plagued by the irony of never being able to reach full satisfaction. And so, with the help of his faithful, mortal companion, Vlepo, Dionysos enters the consciousness of other beings to better understand the material world and sample what he has been missing. But despite all the two experience, it's never enough for Dionysos, whose ceaseless curiosity only serves to make his requests to Vlepo increasingly bizarre. A strange and comic tale that interweaves myths and legend, Frenzy is a fresh reimagining of a larger-than-life figure in a world with shocking parallels to our own. First published in 1997, Frenzy is one of the early novels of an iconic American voice.
