Summary

“Alemán's Guzmán de Alfarache is divided into two parts, published in 1599 and 1604. Part One was an immediate bestseller, more successful, in fact than Don Quixote would be a few years later. A spurious continuation by Mateo Luján de Saavedra appeared in 1602, and, despite its dubious quality, rode the wave of success, selling more copies than Alemán's sequel.”Friedman, Edward H. “Insincere Flattery: Imitation and the Growth of the Novel”. Bulletin of the Cervantes Society of America, Volume XX, Number 1, (Spring 2000): 99.
