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

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.

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

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

The Times

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

A devastating blend of humour and sharp insight
