Lecture 2/23/2021 “Quichotte: Book Discussion”
February 23, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
The Yadunandan Center for India Studies presents a webinar on Salman Rushdie’s latest work Quichotte (2019). In this novel inspired by Cervantes’s 17thcentury class Don Quixote, Sam Duchamp sets off on a picaresque quest across America with his son Sancho with hilarious results. Prof. Norbert Schürer (English) and Prof. Pravina Cooper (Comparative Literature) will discuss Quichotte with an eye towards the quixotic tradition, postcolonial literature, and Salman Rushdie’s oeuvre.
The book discussion will take place via Zoom. Please RSVP below and we will send out a Zoom link and a reminder closer to the date of the event.
