Inspired by Cervantes' work, Sam DuChamp, a mediocre spy thriller writer, creates the character of Quijote, a pharmaceutical salesman obsessed with television and platonically in love with a star. Together with his imaginary son, Sancho, Quijote ventures through the United States to prove his worth, facing dangers such as Russian cyber spies and violent racists, even the threat of the end of the world. Rushdie presents a dazzling Don Quixote for today, a tribute to the classic and a novel about the search for love and family.
Just as Cervantes satirized his era, Rushdie takes the reader on a wild journey through a country on the brink of moral and spiritual collapse, where reality and fiction are confused. Chosen as one of the best books of the year in the USA by TIME and NPR, this novel marks the return of a Rushdie in top form, summarizing his life and work after Midnight's Children.
Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie is an Indian-born British and American novelist. His work often combines magical realism with historical fiction and primarily deals with connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, typically set on the Indian subcontinent. Rushdie's second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), won the Booker Prize in 1981 and was deemed to be "the best novel of all winners" on two occasions that marked the 25th and the 40th anniversary of the prize.
