Trips around Spain, picnics, and dinner-table conversations with Duran formed the basis of Green’s experimental novel-debate «Monsenor Quixote» (1982). In it, friends swap places: Green takes on the appearance of a simple priest from La Mancha, while Duran becomes Enrique Sancases—a former mayor and a communist. At the same time, both share one common trait: they criticize «dogmatism» in both its communist and Catholic forms.
