It is a philosophical and literary-theoretical book in its own right, which will shed light not only on Bakhtinian and Petronian studies but also on the history of the novel, interspersed with brilliant close-readings and amusing and cunning reflections. May the reader enjoy its elegant and concise exposition as much as I did. * Tomas Fernandez, Universidad de Buenos Aires - Conicet, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Nonetheless, the study is an inspiring contribution to research on the ancient novel in general and Petronius in particular. * Ellen Söderblom Saarela, The Classical Review * This volume is much more than a dynamic reassessment of Bakhtin's explicit and implicit references to Petronius.
