He is Donald Gregory, a once-respected college professor and serial adulterer, whose last affair has left his career in ruins. In his hands he clutches a box he has found there. "On a frigid winter's night, a man escapes from an apartment in which a young woman lies bleeding. It is Anderson's kaleidoscopic way of divining a very complex Baroque figure who has also intrigued and influenced such modern giants as Octavio Paz, Robert Graves, Diane Ackerman, and Eduardo Galeano. The subject is Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz and her cloistered, inner-directed life, which begs the question: How is it possible for a woman in then-backward Mexico to become the greatest writer in Spanish of her time? Was she, like the Biblical prophets, inspired by God? Instead of narrating her story straight-through, Anderson interweaves a contemporary one that mirrors Sor Juana's in its carnal/spiritual duality and interior drama. Clocking in at 1360 pages and weighing 5.5 pounds, the novel understandably took Paul Anderson twelve years to write, a labor of love, ardor, and devotion. A Wagnerian-length achievement of a novel. Presents Paul Anderson's "Hunger's Brides: A Novel of The Baroque". Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. One of the most ambitious novels ever written in our time.
