Summary

A deliciously funny novel and an affectionate offering to all that is noblest and least changing in the people and life of Spain.

Driven away from his parish by a censorious bishop, Monsignor Quixote sets off across Spain accompanied by a deposed renegade mayor as his own Sancho Panza, and his noble steed Rocinante - a faithful but antiquated SEAT 600. Like Cervantes’s classic, this comic, picaresque fable offers enduring insights into our life and times.

Critics Review

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 *
A devastating blend of humour and sharp insight * New Statesman *
