![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I vacationed in the Caribbean where I did scuba-diving. I had a Mercedes-Benz sedan and a Triumph 500 CC motorcycle and a Cessna 172 airplane and an MG sports car and a sailboat and a bicycle. I had an apartment in Cambridge that was filled with antiques and I gave very charming dinner parties. In a worldly sense, I was making a great income and I was a collector of possessions. I held appointments in four departments at Harvard-the Social Relations Department, the Psychology Department, the Graduate School of Education, and the Health Service (where I was a therapist) I had research contracts with Yale and Stanford. I had just returned from being a visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley: I had been assured of a permanent post that was being held for me at Harvard, if I got my publications in order. “ In 1961, the beginning of March, I was at perhaps the highest point of my academic career.I was a Professor at Harvard and everybody stood around in awe and listened to my every word, and all I felt was that horror that I knew inside that I didn’t know.” Until you know a good, Jewish middleclass, upwardly mobile, anxiety-ridden neurotic, you haven’t met a real achiever! … Everytime I went to a family gathering, I was the boy who made it. ![]()

Evoking that sense of universality becomes more difficult when you’re telling a story that’s an open homage to one of the most famous and influential works of literature in human history, but in his insightful and wickedly funny way, Salman Rushdie pulls it off with Quichotte.Ī retelling of Don Quixote, Quichotte follows a man who, on a quest to win the heart of a daytime TV star, has redubbed himself “Quichotte” (pronounced “Key- shot”) and committed his life to the pure pursuit of what he calls “The Beloved.” To aid him in his quest, he imagines a son called Sancho, and the two journey together on a road trip through a half-imagined, enchanted version of the American landscape, staying in hotels where the TV is always on. ![]() ![]() Some stories are eternal, and while writers don’t necessarily repeat them word-for-word through the generations, they are capable of crafting compelling echoes that evoke both the time we’re in and the universal emotional constants of humanity. ![]() ![]() His partner Karen wants to just leave it be, but Navidson grows adamant to figure out what is going on, going as far as to call in a favor to borrow the most accurate tool possible from a local university.
