“I delayed the production of my book due to health issues as well as inclusion of new material. I never felt pressured or rushed by Colleen; and whenever there was a misunderstanding, it was resolved with promptness and cordiality. Thanks!”

Product description…
The present English language conversion and dramatic adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote hopes to facilitate to the reading and theatrical public an introductory version of the novel which hopefully will include – unhindered – the fun, irony, wisdom, judgment, sensibility, sensitivity, inventiveness and “picardia” (witticism) of Cervantes. This edition includes an innovative Glossary Name of Characters that explores the possible Jewish ancestry of Don Quixote as well as his beloved Dulcinea’s surprising ethnicity; and a provocative appendix entitled: “Transduction an Alternative to Translation? Notes on ‘Translation’ and Dramatic Adaptation,” which includes an analysis of Jorge Luis Borges’ Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote.Outskirts Press Review
