Can we construct our own reality? And, if we can, how should we? Does life present one transcendent truth, or is truth relative to each individualās perceptions? These are the questions central to Don Quixote, a secular bible of self-invention.
There are many things to say about this book, but I canāt write them all down here. It wouldnāt do much good, either, because everyone seems to get something different out of reading the Quixote. If you havenāt read it, try it out and let it tell you what it wants to say to you. It is by no means a quick read, but it is worth it.
The Grossman edition is fantastic, although the introduction by Bloom is so curmudgeony that it should be skipped, or at least read with a large glass of wine.
