Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to address the three consequences of circumcising Leptines – a protagonist of Teodor Parnicki’s two novels – with regard to physicality (or eroticism), social issues (antisemitism), and identity. At the same time, it is argued that Leptines is not only one of the first hybrid protagonist in Parnicki’s fiction; in fact, the persistence in creating corresponding heroes and the similarities they share might suggest that Leptines functions also as the author’s signature.
