Summary
Editor reviews
The title of John Dos Passos' evocative early novel alludes to Don Quixote’s horse in that most celebrated of Spanish novels that follows the adventures of a wandering dreamer. One of the audiobook's protagonists, Telemachus, is named for the journeying son of the famous wanderer Odysseus. While drawing on classic odysseys, this novel is part buddy road trip and part essay. Two friends travel from Madrid to Toledo in post-World War I Spain, but Dos Passos also wanders off, musing on the Spanish country folk and turn-of-the-century writers. David Crommet performs the text as it is written: as a long evocative poem. It is a journey of gestures and a portrait of a people and a land, painted by a young author asserting his identity.
