The facts of Cervantes
Ч
life cry out for the
epic treatment found in his comic masterpiece.
Marlowe gives it to us. From the author of 77k·
Lighthouse at the End of the World ( a spellbinding
novel. said the Los Angeles Tunes, by a historical
novelist of the first rank. echoed Publishers
Weekly in a starred review) comes a work ot
exuberant, breathless, headfirst adventure.

is story¬
telling at its finest.
The backdrop is Renaissance Europe, a
world alive with creative
ferment,
triple-crossing
intrigue, and the passionate quest tor novelty.
Lofty tragedy and lync poetry still reigri as
queens of the literary arts, but young writers
heady with ambition seek live action to give
substance to their teeming imaginations. It is
scoundrel time, and the novel is in gestation. To
enter Cervantes
s
world we cross
α
threshold that
is Shakespearean and quixotic into a metaphysi¬
cal wonderland where time expands to become
space and vast vaulted distances bend back on
themselves, where the threads of fiction and the
strands of history shuttle back and forth in the
great loom of the artist s imagination.
Marlowe s Cervantes is a towering creation:
flesh and blood and living legend, actor in and
creator of the events in his own fantastical life
story. He not only survives
war, prison, torture, and
poverty, he survives death
itself, growing inexorably toward the writing
of Don Quixote, which would bring both him
and his character immortal fame. Profligate, rib¬
ald, crammed with coincidences rich, strange,
and true,
77«
Death and Life of Miguel
de
Cervantes gloriously suspends disbelief and tri¬
umphantly transcends time, immersing the reader
in
.1
tale whose storytelling power enchants and
transforms.
|orn in New York,
educated in Virginia,
Stephen Marlowe
founded the writer-
in-residence program
at the College of
William
&
Mary and
served as its
fint
resi¬
dent. He is the author
of The Memoirs of
Christopher Columbus,
which was awarded Frances Prix Gutenberg
du
Livié
in
1988,
and most recently of The
Lighthouse at the End of the World. He and his wife
Ann live in Madison, Connecticut.
