Book Description

"Monsignor Quixote is modern picaresque, with frequent nods to Cervantes... Quixote and Sancho drink and talk-about Judas and Stalin, the prodigal son, Marx and belief that wears off like vodka...the

sweet, sad, funny and innocently saintly Quixote gives the story poignance, life and depth-Newsweek

There are parallels here to the

adventures of the original Quixote (brushes with the Guardia, a fugitive thief, a visit to a pornographic movie), but the subject is faith or belief, Christian or Marxist."

-The New Yorker

"Charming, bemusing.. . the gentlest and most amiable of his books since Travels With My Aunt.

-The New York Times Book Review
