It is so good. The opening little thing about the Italian militiaman just sucks you right in and then it just gets better.
I think about that scene everytime i have a great encounter with a stranger or look at an interesting map. I probably read (a heavily edited and censored verison) that book 20 times in high school. He has such an English take on the Spanish: eternally frustrated by their carefree attitude while simultaneously enamored with it. There is nothing else like it.
