DESCRIPTION:Muerte Súbita (Sudden Death) begins oddly enough: two murderer
 s—the Italian painter Michaelangelo Caravaggio and the Spanish poet Fran
 cisco de Queveda—play tennis with four balls made of the red "incendiary
 " braids of a beheaded Anne Boleyn\, second wife of Henry VIII. Watching f
 rom the sidelines are Galileo\, Mary Magdalene\, and several popes.\n\nPuz
 zlingly complex\, absurd\, and wildly entertaining\, this Baroque novel pi
 ctures the author's birth country of Mexico\, as “a third nation\, blind
  to its own beauty\, that no one has been able to understand.”\n\nAbout 
 the writer: Álvaro Enrigue is a Mexican novelist\, short-story writer\, a
 nd essayist. For Muerte Súbita (Sudden Death)\, he was honored with the p
 restigious Herralde Prize in Spain\, the Elena Poniatowska International N
 ovel Award in Mexico\, and the Barcelona Prize for Fiction. Enrigue holds 
 a PhD from the University of Maryland and lives in New York.\n\nThe book i
 s available in Spanish (264 pages) and English (272 pages). Ten copies are
  available for free at the museum on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n\
