'Glorious' New York Times 'Endlessly inventive', Guardian, Best
Books of 2016 'Wildly funny' Lauren Groff, author of Fates and
Furies As Caravaggio, the libertine of Italy's art world, and the
loutish Spanish poet Quevedo aim to settle scores over the course
of one brutal tennis match, the old European order edges closer to
eruption. Across the ocean, in early sixteenth-century Mexico, the
Aztec Empire is under the fatal grip of Hernan Cortes and his Mayan
lover. While they scheme and conquer, fight and fuck, their
domestic comedy will change the course of history, throwing the
world - and Rome's tennis match - into a mind-bending reverie of
assassinations, executions, papal dramas, carnal liaisons and
artistic revolution. Translated by Natasha Wimmer, the
prize-winning translator of Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives
and 2666.
