«Monsignor Quixote» is Graham Greene's novel published in 1982 by The Bodley Head in hardcover (220 pages, in English).

With his friend Sancho Zancas, a former communist mayor, he travels through Spain in an old car they call Rocinante. This picaresque fable, a modern variation of Don Quixote, shows through their encounters the tensions between faith, politics and society in Spain at the time.
The first edition, published by The Bodley Head in London, features the subtitle A Novel on the cover.
For readers of Graham Greene and of re-readings of Don Quixote, with an interest in twentieth-century British literature.
