Quichotte by Salman Rushdie - Living in the Post-Truth Era | Booker 2019 review WhatKamilReads 2019-11-09 | Here is my take on Quichotte by Salman Rushdie as a meditation on post-truth world we are living in. Rushdie took the classic Cervantes novel and used it as a medium to describe the era of relativism where facts are equal with opinions. I also talk about my bittersweet relationship with Salman Rushdie's most acclaimed novel, The Midnight Children.
