Salman Rushdie
PositiveThe New York Review of BooksRushdie confronts the reader with a multiplicity of plots. It’s like a Marx Brothers movie, easier to enjoy than to analyze. Quichotte could be Pynchon on acid, except that Pynchon was on acid. This is the America of Gore Vidal’s comic novel Duluth, in which characters appear, disappear, and reappear as characters in the television series Duluth, written by one Rosemary Klein Kantor, who calls her plagiarism of other works \'creation by other means.\' Rushdie’s Quichotte lives in \'The Age of Anything-Can-Happen,\' and pretty much everything does ... Rushdie’s Quichotte is less mad than the humans-become-mastadons who are as incomp and Ariel Dorfman\'s Cautivos], like their model, are riddles to be deciphered in myriad ways.
