Kaffka, the Holy Grail, and a Woman Who Reads: The Quests of Sir Kay

By Rusty Rhoad

Peace has finally been achieved-and it sucks. At least for Sir Kay. I mean, nobody really likes the cold and the fear of war, but compared with now? That delicious, dark-roasted heady beverage Merlin brought back from the Middle East, kaffa , is long gone. Arthur expects Kay to run castle and kingdom, just because he's the only person in 6th century Britain who can do algebra (if a knight rides forth from Camelot at three leagues per hour . . .). Guinevere treats him as her personal gofer. Middle age is fast upon Kay, and the only quest available is to rescue Miffy, a fair but empty-headed lady's imprisoned dog.Ah, but who knows what adventures lie out there, away from the comforts of Camelot? The Holy Grail, if one were interested in such a bauble? Magic, in the form of an ageless beauty with a treacherous reputation, Morgan le Fay? Perhaps the ultimate prize, a woman who reads. Or maybe just a night under the stars with no liveried page, face and fingernails scrubbed clean of any trace of dirt, uttering those detested words, "Sire, the Queen requests your presence." Kaffka , the Holy Grail, and a Woman Who Reads: The Quests of Sir Kay is a warm, humorous glimpse of Arthurian times through the eyes of a Knight of the Round Table who also happens to be a little . . . shall we say, geeky? Sir Kay is a keen observer-witty, introspective, and sarcastic at times-driven by a sharp intellect and a deep longing for something more.
