A religious novel, it tells the story of a humble priest who is elevated to Monsignor by the Pope himself because of a clerical error.
It’s modern picaresque, with frequent nods to Cervantes… Quixote and Sancho drink and talk – about Judas and Stalin, the prodigal son, Marx, and belief that wears off like vodka. A book of moral complexity that explores deep theological themes in a light-hearted, accessible way.
