“Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, Voltaire’s Candide…Rushdie is very much a latter-day member of their company.”

New York Times Book Review


Inextricably linked with the fatwa called against its author in the wake of the novel's publication, The Satanic Verses is, beyond that, a rich showcase for Salman Rushdie's comic sensibilities, cultural observations, and unparalleled mastery of language. The tale of an Indian film star and a Bombay expatriate, Rushdie's masterpiece was deservedly honored with the Whitbread Prize. "Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Voltaire's Candide . [Rushdie] is very much a latter-day member of their company."-New York Times Book Review
