Description
The Satanic Verses is a novel of prodigious powers, able to conjure up whole geographies, causalities, climates, creatures, customs, out of thin air. Set in a modern world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang: the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil.
This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times, praised for its exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary storytelling.
With its power of description, Rushdie has created a novel of metamorphoses, hauntings, memories, hallucinations, revelations, advertising jingles, and jokes. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in a rich and imaginative tale, The Satanic Verses is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
