Nicolas Shumway grew up in St. Johns, Arizona, a small community founded by Mexicans and later settled by Mormon pioneers. His father owned a service station and tire shop, and his mother taught grade school music. With majors in Spanish and Music, he graduated with honors from BYU in 1969. He completed his Ph.D. in 1976 at UCLA, specializing in Hispanic literature and linguistics. His book, ‘The Invention of Argentina’ appeared in 1991 and was recognized by The New York Times as “a notable book of the year.” In 2023, the UK edition of The Economist praised it as a “masterly intellectual and cultural history.” The Education of Joshua Chastain is his first published novel. Shumway retired in 2020 after holding appointments at Yale, the University of Texas at Austin, and Rice University where he was Dean of Humanities. He lives with his husband Robert Mayott in Houston, Texas.
