About:
Don Quixote, USA is a humorous novel that follows the misadventures of an agricultural scientist named Goodpasture, who gets in trouble with both the government and revolutionaries of a fictional island nation. The story is centered around Goodpasture's hilarious development as a character, as he navigates through the challenges presented to him with innocence and naivete. The book is described as being full of witty humor, with a tongue-in-cheek style that pokes fun at a variety of targets.
The novel is set in a Latin American country, and the protagonist finds himself in a series of comical situations as he attempts to promote the cultivation of bananas. The story is filled with caricatures of stereotypes, and the character development of Goodpasture is a highlight, as he is the only hopelessly dopey character in the narrative. The humor is both entertaining and inspiring, and the development of the story leads to unexpected triumphs and laughter, making it an enjoyable read for those who appreciate light-hearted satire.
From The Publisher:
Arthur Peabody Goodpasture is a young Bostonian who joins the Peace Corps and gets involved in the Republic of San Marco revolution. Only, there is Republic of San Marco. Not really. This political satire takes aim at the values many Vietnam War-era Americans held dear, and continues to make readers laugh and think about our political system.
