table

'suggest' is the definition.
(as in tabling a motion)

'viewing cervantes' vampire in the mirror?' is the wordplay.
'viewing cervantes'' becomes 'el' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'vampire' becomes 'bat' (vampire bat).
'in the mirror?' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'in the mirror' mean this).
'el'+'bat'='elbat'
'elbat' written backwards gives 'TABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "Working, eating, surface" , "put on the agenda" , "Index" , "Flat surface on legs" , "put forward a > schedule" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
