"Robert DeMaria was born in New
York. He studied at Columbia where he was an undergraduate in the Beat
Generation. He eventually earned a PhD in modern British literature. He
was an editor at Macmillan, taught writing at various universities and
was the Associate Dean of the New School for Social Research. With Ellen
Hope Meyer he published The Mediterranean Review (1970-73). He is the
author of fifteen novels and has published short fiction and poetry in
various magazines. His novels reflect his New York background and his
years raising a family on the east end of Long Island. He has also spent
some years in Europe in expatriate circles. These days he divides his
time between Deia on the island of Mallorca and Port Jefferson on Long
Island."--Goodreads.
""Don Juan in Lourdes..".an admirable idea--the failed writer and
unfailing sensualist, losing his sight, dragged to Lourdes for a
miracle, roughing up all Europe on the way....What Hemingway did for the
twenties in "The Sun Also Rises, " DeMaria does here for the
sixties."--Anthony Burgess.
