Don Quixote‘s Impossible Quest for the Absolute in Literature: Fiction, Reflection, and Negative Theology (Routledge 2024)

In a scholarly landscape that is littered with studies of Don Quixote that often fail to do justice to Don Quixote, Franke’s study stands out for the way in which it truly captures the profundity of Cervantes’ work. This is a fascinating and remarkable book, deserving of serious attention.
