Surrender to the dazzling, intoxicating world of Salman Rushdie, the British-Indian novelist widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries — a master of magical realism whose work weaves together Indian history, Islamic mythology, postcolonial politics, and breathtaking linguistic invention into novels of extraordinary ambition, beauty, and controversy. Born in Bombay in 1947, Rushdie burst onto the world literary stage with Midnight’s Children (1981), the story of a child born at the exact moment of Indian independence who discovers he is telepathically linked to all the other children born in that midnight hour — a novel that won the Booker Prize, the Booker of Bookers, and the Best of the Booker, and is widely considered one of the greatest novels ever written. His subsequent works include the incendiary The Satanic Verses (1988), the enchanting children’s novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories, the lush The Moor’s Last Sigh, and the memoir Joseph Anton. A fearless, visionary voice in world literature. Essential reading for every serious lover of fiction.
