Satanic Verses

Salman Rushdie’™s ‘œThe Satanic Verses” is one of those works of arts that suffers from the paradox of being as infamous as it is famous. Yet with all it’™s supposed notoriety, there is, and always has been, a fantastic novel at the centre at it’™s heart.Winner of the Whitbread Prize, and a fatwa for its creator, the book is a marvelously erudite study of good and evil, a feast of language served up by a writer at the height of his powers, and a rollicking comic fable. The book begins with two Indians, Gibreel Farishta (‘œfor fifteen years the biggest star in the history of the Indian movies”) and Saladin Chamcha, a Bombay expatriate returning from his first visit to his homeland in 15 years, plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their jetliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations. Rushdie`s powers of invention are astonishing and should not be overcrowded by outside views, opinions, and accusations. Find out for yourself, you won’™t regret it.
