From Nicole Galland, acclaimed author of The Fool's Tale, comes
a marvelous evocation of a distant time and place . . . and a
breathtaking reexamination of one of literature's classic
villains
From earliest childhood, the precocious boy called Iago had
inconvenient tendencies toward honesty--a failing that made him an
embarrassment to his family and an outcast in the corrupt culture
of glittering Renaissance Venice. Embracing military life as an
antidote to the frippery of Venetian society, Iago won the love of
the beautiful Emilia and the regard of Venice's revered General
Othello. After years of abuse and rejection, Iago was poised to
achieve everything he had ever fought for and dreamed of . . .
But a cascade of unexpected deceptions propels him on a
catastrophic quest for righteous vengeance, contorting his moral
compass until he has betrayed his closest friends and family, and
sealed his own fate as one of the most notorious villains of all
time.
Inspired by William Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello--a
timeless tale of friendship and treachery, love and
jealousy--Galland's I, Iago sheds fascinating new light on a
complex soul, and on the conditions and fateful events that helped
to create a monster.
