Hunger's Brides: A Novel of the Beroque

Apocalyptic, lyrical, and erotically charged, Hunger's Brides is an epic novel of genius and obsession . . . 

Dramatically unveiling three intimate journeys (a great poet's withdrawal from the world, a man's forced march to self-knowledge, and a profane mystic's pilgrimage into modern Mexico), Hunger's Brides brings to vivid life the greatest Spanish poet of her time, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and plumbs a mystery that has intrigued writers for decades: Why would a writer of such gifts silence herself?

“Anderson writes as the best painters paint: with clarity, finesse and infinite suggestion." -- The Vancouver Sun
