Salman Rushdie is a major contemporary writer, who engages with
some of the vital issues of our times: migrancy, postcolonialism,
religious authoritarianism. This Companion offers a comprehensive
introduction to his entire oeuvre. Part I provides thematic
readings of Rushdie and his work, with chapters on how Bollywood
films are intertextual with the fiction, the place of family and
gender in the work, the influence of English writing and
reflections on the fatwa. Part II discusses Rushdie's importance
for postcolonial writing and provides detailed interpretations of
his fiction. In one volume, this book provides a stimulating
introduction to the author and his work in a range of expert essays
and readings. With its detailed chronology of Rushdie's life and a
comprehensive bibliography of further reading, this volume will be
invaluable to undergraduates studying Rushdie and to the general
reader interested in his work.
