| Summary: | Stavans and Weil pay tribute to Cervantes's novel as well as its complex resonances in the centuries since its publication. The dauntless "mad knight" Don Quixote and his hapless squire, Sancho Panza, encounter the infamous windmills, contend with disbelieving peasants and noblemen and seek relentlessly for Quixote's imaginary love, Dulcinea. They also confront their own creators and adapters, Cervantes, Salvador Dalí, Franz Kafka and Stavans and Weil themselves, and try to make sense out of the madness of drones, taxicabs and their own literary immortality. |
