About This Book
A mediocre, ageing salesman named Quichotte falls in love with a TV star. An elderly author of pulp spy fiction creates Quichotte in his novels. Inspired by Don Quixote, the novel is a road trip across America at a moment of crisis, a meditation on reality TV, opioid addiction, and the power of storytelling. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019.
