A coming of age story, written for everyone from 8 to 88. In writing this comic novel the author reveals the mystifying and enjoyable world of Fanfan Renaud, a resourceful teenager, who feverishly schemes to get adopted by a pair of opera singers as his own parents ignore him. But as the best plans have a way of getting undone, he needs to enlist the Gods from Mount Olympus in his quest to make the world a better place and invents his own religion in the process. It may be the Oddyssey told in reverse.
