ABOUT
The City of Palaces is the first of a quartet of historical novels based loosely on the early life of the gay, Mexican-born silent film star, Ramon Novarro. Novelist Christopher Bram says about The City of Palaces: “City of Palaces begins as the love story of two good people, a Catholic and an atheist, who find each other in the corrupt world of belle epoch Mexico City. It grows into a magnificent epic about family, politics, art, revolution, and hope. This is a masterly work of old-fashioned storytelling, rich and spacious and moving, a novel that deserves to be compared to The Leopard, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Doctor Zhivago, but with its own intimacy and grandeur. I fell in love with these people and did not want to say goodbye to them.”
Nava has also had a distinguished legal career, having earned his law degree from Stanford University. He can reached though his Facebook page, Michael Nava, Writer or his website.
Michael Nava is the author of several books including The Little Death (1986), Goldenboy(1988), Howtown (1990), The Hidden Law (1992), The Death of Friends (1996), The Burning Plain (1998), and Rag and Bone (2000).
