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.

This is one of Greene’s gentler novels - a cerebral road trip featuring the titular priest and the former mayor of a Spanish backwater, nicknamed Sancho. They roam around the countryside, drinking wine and discussing lofty (and not so lofty) matters. It’s like a more intellectual version of The Trip, the TV comedy travelogue starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Monsignor Quixote, published in 1982, is a pastiche of the early 1600s novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, with many moments of comedy - though it also offers reflection on matters such as life after a dictatorship, Communism, and the Catholic faith. The pair travel in a Seat 600 called Rocinante (the name of the original Quixote’s horse). It’s not without some moments of incident and action, but for the most part it’s firmly dialogue-based. It’s charming, though at times I drifted a little - tuning in and out of the conversations. The narration by Cyril Cusack is outstanding. It’s worth a taking a ride with these two wine-loving philosophers just to hear Cusack in full flow.
