"This collection engages with the larger context of Rushdie's work
to reflect on the urgent issues raised by Rushdie's novels and
their afterlives. The essays are first-rate, achieving
accessibility without sacrificing rigor and depth, and bringing a
variety of disciplinary perspectives to offer a fresh understanding
of Rushdie's writings. This is rare."
---Gyan Prakash, Princeton University
This important collection of essays and interviews brings
together a distinguished group of critics and commentators,
including Rushdie himself, to explore the political and cultural
contexts of Rushdie's novels. While each of the essays offers a
distinct and often highly original take on Rushdie and his work,
the two substantial interviews with Rushdie illuminate his thoughts
on a series of literary and political subjects which he has for the
most part been reluctant to discuss in public. This combination of
fresh perspectives and historical and political context will appeal
to a wide array of readers who are interested in Rushdie's work and
the many pressing cultural and political issues it raises.
