WhatKamilReads | Quichotte by Salman Rushdie - Living in the Post-Truth Era | Booker 2019 review @WhatKamilReads | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
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.
