# Salman Rushdie: National Book Festival 2020

A satire about the world we live in, Salman Rushdie's latest novel "Quichotte" (Random House) pays Miguel de Cervantes a great, clever compliment with this Don Quixote for modern times. This postmodern dystopian tale tackles everything from global warming to the rise of white supremacism to the opioid crisis -- all the ills of our contemporary society.
