Sumario: | It was the best of times, it was the worst of times? begins one chapter of critically acclaimed Lee Siegel?s new novel, Love and the Incredibly Old Man.?In the beginning? starts another. What else can a novelist do when hired as a ghostwriter by an elderly, irascible, conquistador-costumed man claiming to be the 540-year-old Juan Ponce de León? The fantastic life of that legendary explorer?inventor of rum, cigars, Coca-Cola, and popcorn?is the frame for Siegel?s fourth chronicle of love, lies, luck, loss, and labia. Summoned with cold hard cash and a pinch of flattery, a professor and noveli. |
