Dec. 4, 2019 - Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie is widely recognized as a leading figure of world literature. His 1981 novel, Midnight’s Children, received not only the Booker Prize, but also the 1993 “Booker of Bookers” and the 2008 “Best of the Booker,” selected from all 41 winners since the prize’s inception in 1969. Rushdie's new novel Quichotte (2019) is a dazzling homage to Cervantes' Don Quixote, the 17th century mock epic that is a founding work of Western literature and the most-translated book after the Bible.
