I, Iago

“Nicole Galland is exceptionally well versed in the fine nuances of storytelling.”

—*St. Petersburg Times*

“Galland has an exceptional gift.”

—Neal Stephenson

The critically acclaimed author of *The Fool's Tale*, Nicole Galland now approaches William Shakespeare's classic drama of jealousy, betrayal, and murder from the opposite side. *I, Iago* is an ingenious, brilliantly crafted novel that allows one of literature's greatest villains--the deceitful schemer Iago, from the Bard's immortal tragedy, *Othello*--to take center stage in order to reveal his "true" motivations. This is Iago as you've never known him, his past and influences breathtakingly illuminated, in a fictional reexamination that explores the eternal question: is true evil the result of nature versus nurture...or something even more complicated?
