Title: Travels with Rosinante
First published: 1988
Description: « Magnouloux : sex and arrogance. (...) I suggest members of the public exercise their right to ignore his book and sincerely hope they never encounter the author on any further travels he undertakes, as he might reproduce them as two-dimensional caricatures of themselves ». Georges Fentiman, New Cyclist. 
                        « If ever a book was designed to persuade you to stop at home and leave the travelling to others, then it’s this one ». Andrew Flynn, Huddersfield Daily Examiner. 
                      « Bizarrely appendixed, fascinatingly detailed, the book is a triumphant travelogue of terminal insanity ». Sean Thomas, The Mail on Sunday. 
                       « Like Kerouac and Kassidy, who constantly sped in a car across America only to turn back again as soon as they arrived, Magnouloux (...) is a shade eccentric. When police stop him for questioning in Peru, he has a spare cycle spoke dangling on a piece of string from the right side of his moustache. His explanation ? A side wind had been flapping the impressive bush into his mouth ».
