Sir Salman Rushdie is perhaps the most significant living novelist
in English. His second novel, Midnight's Children, is regularly
cited as the 'Booker of Bookers' and its impact is still being felt
throughout in world literature. His fourth novel, The Satanic
Verses, led to the 'Rushdie Affair' certainly the most significant
literary-political event since the Second World War. Rushdie has
continued to produce challenging fiction, controversial,
thought-provoking non-fiction and has a presence on the world stage
as a public intellectual. This collection brings together leading
scholars to provide an up-to-date critical guide to Rushdie's
writing from his earliest works up to the most recent, including
his 2012 memoir of his time in hiding, Joseph Anton. Contributors
offer new perspectives on key issues, including: Rushdie as a
postcolonial writer; Rushdie as a postmodernist; his use and reuse
of the canon; the 'Rushdie Affair'; his responses to 9/11 and to
the 'War on Terror'; and issues of more complex philosophical
weight arising from his fiction.
