Mendoza describes his central
character, Crazy knight, as a
latter day Don Quixote. The
stories have a Key West locale,
because, as Mendoza says, "every-
one should write about things and
places they are familiar with. y
Crazy knight, it seems, is a real
crazy character. "A real heroic
cat, says Mendoza. "But he's al
ways getting involved in weird
situations and more through acct
dent than design, he manages to
extricate himself"
Good Samaritan
"And he does lot of good, too, "
Mendoza declared. For example
In one chapter he manages to get
our filthy city Jail burned down."
In that episode, Crazy knight
was riding his donkey, Pancho,
past the city hall when he spotted
the jail. Thinking the decrepit
building was a stable, he rode
roughshod into the building. Police
1t. Buster Cerezo, a keen student
OF horsefleSh, arrested him for
mistaking the city Jail for a stable.
But Crazy Knight summoned
his faithful dragon, Zazu, who
belched a bit of fire and burned
the Jail to the ground to the re-
lief of civic minded Key Westers.
Future adventures may include
burning the entire city hail. Men
doza promised.
But writing. is demanding and
expensive work and as we said
before, Mendoza needs substance.
Anyone with a job for him will
be doing the literary world a great
service.
AS Mendoza says, everything is
not Tutti-Frutti with Aud Clootie."
