Currently living in America, DuChamp is the writer of lackadaisical and lackluster spy thrillers. The character Quichotte was born out of Indian-born writer Sam DuChamp’s imagination. Pronounced as “Key-shot”, it is the journey of an old man across the United States to win over the woman who has captured his heart. Inspired by this timeless classic, popular author Salman Rushdie built his latest work and 14th novel, Quichotte, around this premise. Since Don Quixote’s publication, many a literary work has been used to satirize the prevailing atmosphere in a certain place and time such as Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. That writer was Miguel de Cervantes, the literary maestro behind one of the most popular literary works, Don Quixote. It is also one of the most translated work of fiction. What he wrote transcended his time and is widely recognized as the first modern novel. Challenging what he deemed was “vain and empty”, he wrote a masterpiece that was a parody of the beloved chilvalric romances. Back in early 17th century Spain, a former solider of the Spanish Navy infantry became increasingly frustrated of how culture during his time is shaping up.
