In this eccentric social satire, set in the early twentieth century in a fictious Republic, Zelman Feldman is born with immense legs. To share this extraordinary discovery with the Republic's scientific community, his pediatrician convenes a symposium soon after Zelman's delivery. Zoologists and other scientific luminaries are mesmerized by the size of the limbs. Front page articles about the Feldman Phenomenon appear in newspapers of every political stripe.
Thus begins Zelman's comical journey as a person whom society views as an oddity. Among the colorful characters he encounters over the years are unscrupulous distant relatives, a shady freak show barker, a sensuous former prima ballerina, and a womanizing business mogul. The odyssey climaxes in a bizarre trial that will decide his future. What will the verdict be? More important, can he find happiness despite his physical anomaly? This witty novel about society's prejudices and other flaws answers these questions and offers insights into the imperfect human condition.
