Salman Rushdie: Quichotte

<div> <em>‘Things that would have seemed utterly improbable now happen on a daily basis’, </em>Sir Salman Rushdie said to Sam when they spoke in an interview for the Spectator's 10,000th edition. Sam met Salman in New York a few weeks ago, before coronavirus struck down the city. This episode is a recording of that interview, where they discuss everything from his latest book <em>Quichotte</em>, to his relationship with his father, who we learn made up the surname 'Rushdie', and how he feels about <em>The Satanic Verses</em> now. Sam's full interview is out in this Thursday's issue.<br> <br> Presented by Sam Leith.</div>
