Description
Don Quixote Which was a Dream is a visionary novel that reimagines the story for the modern era. At its heart is an indomitable woman, driven by a singular obsession: to love without condition.
This bold and unflinching work follows Don Quixote as she navigates the complexities of American history, from the tumultuous days of the Nixon administration to the gritty streets of contemporary London. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters who blur the lines between reality and fantasy, including transvestites and beautiful women who enact the rituals of courtly love.
With its unique blend of historical and fantastical elements, Don Quixote Which was a Dream is a thought-provoking exploration of desire, identity, and the human condition. A challenging and uncompromising work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about love, power, and the nature of reality.
