ABSTRACT

In the fourth and final part of the novel, Don Quixote restores his ancestors’ castle and, as his final feat, succeeds in saving the chivalry books. At the end of his treks through the Sierra Mountains, we can presume that he is a psychoanalyst, with all the transference required, including to his books. The therapeutic function of books is universal, so it is not surprising that I should find it in a book I just received from Japan. The story of this book, received “when I least expect it” and echoing what I was in the process of writing, deserves to be told.
