NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An epic Don Quixote for the modern age, “a brilliant, funny, world-encompassing wonder” (Time) from internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie
SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE • “Lovely, unsentimental, heart-affirming . . . a remembrance of what holds our human lives in some equilibrium—a way of feeling and a way of telling. Love and language.”—Jeanette Winterson, The New York Times Book Review
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 a TV star. 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 satirize the culture of his time, Rushdie takes the reader on a wild ride through a country on the verge of moral and spiritual collapse. And with the kind of storytelling magic that is the hallmark of Rushdie’s work, the fully realized 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.

圖書標籤: 堂吉訶德
好久以來讀的最recently published的一本書,所以特彆relatable,且太太太太太太喜歡瞭。對美國最近的和長期以來的社會問題剖析的一針見血,文筆也極為生動,完美的地blur the line between fiction and reality, 看著多重世界彼此呼應,漸漸重閤,真是讓人嘖嘖稱奇。最後作者的文學底蘊與知識點也太廣瞭,各種書籍&cultural reference信手拈來,看著看著讓人會心一笑。總體來說這是一本奇書,且個人感受,讀這本比讀堂吉訶德還要好玩許多。
