From an editorial blurb, "In a tour de force that is both an homage to an immortal work of literature and a modern masterpiece about the quest for love and family Salman Rushdie has created a dazzling Don Quixote for the modern age. 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." 396 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
