Jerzy Kozłowski Books

Inspired by the Cervantes classic, Sam DuChamp, mediocre writer of spy thrillers, creates Quichotte, a courtly, addled salesman obsessed with television, who falls in impossible love with the TV star Salman R. Together with his (imaginary) son Sancho, Quichotte sets off on a picaresque quest across America to prove worthy of her hand, gallantly braving the tragicomic perils of an age where 'Anything-Can-Happen'. Meanwhile his creator, in a midlife crisis, has equally urgent challenges of his own.

The author of "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" transports readers to the northeastern Himalayas, where a growing insurgency in Nepal disrupts traditional life and reveals a complex landscape of conflicting desires.
