Description

Shame is a phantasmagoric epic that explores the complexities of public life and historical imperatives. In this novel, Salman Rushdie weaves a pitch-black comedy that delves into the consequences of shame in a world torn between honour and humiliation. Raised at the feet of six mothers who share everything, including the son they all claim to have borne, Omar Khayyam is taught to live a life without shame. However, when he falls in love, he becomes an unwitting player in a duel between two families with vastly different values. As the stakes rise, one moment of shame could prove fatal. A masterful exploration of human nature and societal expectations, Shame is a gripping tale that showcases Rushdie's unique storytelling style.
