QUICHOTTE

SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR we have the 2019 US first edition of the latest fiction by the author of Midnight's Children and The Satanic Verses. 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, 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. 'Lovely, unsentimental, heart-affirming... a remembrance of what holds our human lives in some equilibrium.' - Jeanette Winterson. Anecdotal, effervescent and charming, and a jolly good story. Collectable 396 page glamorous hardback.
