Reviews

"Maria Antonia Garces provides new and fascinating interpretations of Cervantes' texts... [Her] book is grounded on the link between trauma and creativity... The commingling of history, biography, and trauma studies and, most importantly, the vivid narrative of an Algiers that Cervantes constantly recalls, make of this an exciting and fascinating read. This is an important book that provides new and compelling insights into Cervantes' Algiers." - Renaissance Quarterly; "The significance of this book is enormous, as it is the first to chronicle Cervantes's five-year captivity in Algiers as both a traumatic and creative event... Garces's book will open up new avenues not only for rethinking the connections between trauma and captivity, but also for questioning the complex relations between Christian Spain and Islam in early modern times." - Diana de Armas Wilson"
