Ms. Quixote Goes Country: Raised on the Marxist Frontier

Why take L.E. Vega's novel seriously? The truthful and eccentric novel "Ms. Quixote Goes Country - Raised on the Marxist Frontier" is a testimony inspired by the tragic death of Freddie Prinze, Sr. The main character in the novel, city slicker Joanna Lee Colinas, nicknamed Joalee, hikes to battle current mysterious real life American Gulag windmills. The novel's narrator rants one of L.E. Vega's recurring literary themes, that it does not pay to be Anti-American, that stagnating in the stereotypical sense of oppression of both her Latin predecessors and many contemporaries is not the answer. Politically, Joalee must balance a lonely place placing her ahead of her time. Thus, she dons on a Quixotesque knightess armour, a symbol of her gentle strength, prepared to combat being weighed down by today's escalating human division. The novel takes the shape of an endearing cubist journal with tinges of an imaginary island, Pracee, a place that seems socially warped. With echoes of growing up in a feverish Marxist family, L.E. Vega's novel illustrates in humorous Quixotesque fashion Joalee's acquisitive stepfather’s agenda to impose on her Mr. Freddie Prinze Sr.’s calvary. Joalee, though, is heartened by Mr. Freddie Prinze, Sr. himself, who comically appears to her as a Knight Blueprint while she washes some bird poop off her Ms. Quixote armour at the country creek. Like a Jean Jacques Rousseau appearing in a Gauguin painting, "Ms. Quixote Goes Country - Raised on the Marxist Frontier" presents sketches of the still existing national anarchy where Joalee reckons that she and Mr. Prinze, Sr. converge.
