A first edition, first printing of Quichotte by Salman Rushdie, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 2019. A near fine copy, signed by the author on the title page, free from internal inscriptions or marks, with clean, bright pages and a firm binding. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper, with light handling wear only, colours strong and unfaded, and no tears or loss.
Quichotte is Rushdie’s fourteenth novel, a contemporary reimagining of Don Quixote that blends satire, metafiction, and social commentary, engaging with themes of migration, media culture, love, and late-modern dislocation. Written during Rushdie’s later period, it reflects a return to playful narrative invention combined with sharp political observation, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
