Description
Description: A Search for Donald Cottee is a Novel About Individualism. It’S Also a Parody of Don Quixote, Reinterpreting the Don’S Quest in Contemporary Terms and Also Using Several of the Scenes From Cervantes’S Tome. Donkey and His Wife, Poncho Suzie, Have Retired to Benidorm on Spain´S Costa Blanca. Don Has Left Behind His Incessant Self-Education and Suzie Has Turned the Corner of Her Illness. Their New Life is Parked on the Salubrious La Manga Campsite and From There They Pursue Their Ambition of Eternal Holiday. To Savour the Developing Experience, and to Make Its Potential Paradise Available to All, They Blog. But They Can Never Escape Their Origins, Even As Their New Future Unfolds, Perhaps Disintegrates Into the Present. Episodes From the Past Reappear, Reincarnate Themselves. Don’S Environmental Campaigning and Suzie’S Quest for Business Success Fill the Time. And Then They Discover That Their Friends, Some Old, Some New, Some Related, Others Not, Are Transacting the Businesses of Their Own Lives. There is Money in Vice, More in Property, Even More in Merely Trading People. In a World Where Competition is the Norm, Where a Dog’S Only Possible Diet is Another Dog, Don and Suzie Are Determined to Do Good Works, to Be Honest and Loyal to All, to Support What is Right. But Then, in the Final Analysis, When the Jigsaw of Lives is Broken Apart, We See That Perhaps the Pieces Never Did Fit. And So, Still Trying to Do Good, Donkey Cottee and Poncho Suzie Leave Us With An Enigma. Or is It a Riddle?
