***SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2019*** In a tour-de-force that
is both an homage to an immortal work of literature and a modern
masterpiece about the quest for love and family, Booker
Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie
has created a dazzling Don Quixote for the modern age. Inspired by
the Cervantes classic, Sam DuChamp, mediocre writer of spy
thrillers, creates Quichotte, a courtly, addled salesman obsessed
with television, who falls in impossible love with the TV star
Salman R. Together with his (imaginary) son Sancho, Quichotte sets
off on a picaresque quest across America to prove worthy of her
hand, gallantly braving the tragicomic perils of an age where
'Anything-Can-Happen'. Meanwhile his creator, in a midlife crisis,
has equally urgent challenges of his own. Just as Cervantes wrote
Don Quixote to satirise the culture of his time, Rushdie takes the
reader on a wild ride through a country on the verge of moral and
spiritual collapse, with the kind of storytelling magic that is the
hallmark of his work. The fully realised lives of DuChamp and
Quichotte intertwine in a profoundly human quest for love and a
wickedly entertaining portrait of an age in which fact is so often
indiscernible from fiction.
