Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene
With Sancho Panza, a deposed Communist mayor, his faithful Rocinate, an antiquated motorcar, Monsignor Quixote roams through modern-day Spain in a brilliant picaresque fable. Like Cervantes' classic, Monsignor Quixote offers enduring insights into our life and times.
A deliciously funny novel and affectionate offering to all that is noblest and least-changing in the people and life of Spain * The Times *
A powerful late work..a mixture of entertainment and deep human awareness -- Malcolm Bradbury
Monsignor Quixote is important in showing what may be the last stage of the novelist's long argument with himself about the needs, nature and effect of faith * Times Literary Supplement *
Graham Greene's best, most absorbing, adept and effortless novel * Spectator *
One of the finest writers of any language... Monsignor Quixote is a tour de force and a revealing document of Greene's theological and political intelligence * Washington Post *
