Refreshing, comic, and sublime...The conquest in this novel, a game played by one writer and his readers, captivates, drawing us in through the seductive power of a monumental young author.Laura Esquivel, bestselling author of Like Water for Chocolate and MalincheIntoxicatingIll be thinking of these characters, what they longed to create and what they managed to despoil, for a long time. Helen OyeyemiA retelling of a fantastical true story: two young men seduce Nobel laureate Juan Ramn Jimnez with the words of an imaginary woman and inspire one of his greatest love poems.Jos Glvez and Carlos Rodrguez are poets. Or, at least, theyd like to be. Sons of Limas elite in the early twentieth century, they scribble bad verses and read the greats: Rilke, Rimbaud, and, above all others, Juan Ramn Jmenez, the Spanish Maestro. Desperate for Jmenezs latest work, unavailable in Lima, they decide to ask him for a copy. Theyre sure Jmenez wont send two dilettantes his book, but he might favor a beautiful woman. They write to him as the lovely, imaginary Georgina Hbner. Jmenez responds with a letter and a book. Elated, Jos and Carlos write back. Their correspondence continues, as the Maestro falls in love with Georgina, and the boys abandon poetry for the pages of Jmenezs life.
