"Monsignor Quixote" is a witty and poignant work of literary fiction that reimagines Cervantes’ classic in post-Franco Spain. Elevated to Monsignor by a clerical error, a humble priest sets off on a road trip with his Communist friend, the former mayor of El Toboso, in a battered car named Rocinante. As they journey through a country still grappling with its past, Greene presents a series of philosophical and theological debates that challenge both men’s beliefs. The novel balances humor with moral complexity, offering a modern picaresque tale that examines faith, ideology, and friendship with warmth and intelligence.
