A cock-eyed comedy : starring friar Bugeo Montesino and other fairies of motley feather and fortune / Juan Goytisolo - San Francisco : City Lights Books, 2002, c2000 - 173 p. ; 19 cm
In A Cock-Eyed Comedy , Father Trennes is like Virginia Woolf's Orlando, a spirit of the age moving through several centuries of Spain's history. His most recent incarnation is as an Opus Dei religious leader in present-day Spain, whose conformity Goytisolo delightfully savages. A cast of real people and invented characters, including Roland Barthes, Jean Genet, and Manuel Puig, are mixed up in a literary and historical melting pot. A Cock-Eyed Comedy is a transgressive dark comedy with a significant message about religion and sexuality.
