Beschreibung
An ageing travelling salesman who loves television sets out to make a more real connection, imagining into being a son and heading off across America by Chevrolet to convince the salesman’s love interest of his determination and valour. A playful inversion of “Don Quixote” from the author of “Midnight’s Children”.
Salman Rushdie is the author of fifteen previous novels, including Midnight’s Children (for which he won the Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker), The Satanic Verses, and Quichotte (which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize). A former president of PEN American Center, Rushdie was knighted in 2007 for services to literature and was made a Companion of Honour in the Queen’s last Birthday Honours list in 2022.
