Originally published by Viking in London on September 26, 1988, with the first U.S. edition by the same publisher following on February 22, 1989. Signed by Author to title page. Author's fourth novel. Winner of the 1988 Whitbread Prize for Fiction. Shortlisted for the 1988 Booker Prize (losing out to Peter Carey's Oscar and Lucinda). Gibreel Farishta, India's legendary movie star, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand voices, fall earthward from a bombed jet toward the sea, singing rival verses in an eternal wrestling match between good and evil. A whimsical and fantastic tale, as viewed through the prism of a magical realist lens. Its publication ignited an on-going debate on the dividing lines between freedom of expression, censorship, and religious tolerance. The book's reference to several verses that Satan allegedly tricked Muhammad into including in the Qur'an, and which were later expunged, as claimed by the controversial Arabian historian Ibn Ishaq, were the main source for the fatwa (religious edict) conferred upon Rushdie by Iran's spiritual leader, the Ayatollah Khomeini. It was officially lifted by his successors in September 1998 and the state-sanctioned reward nullified. Despite all this, Rushdie was repeatedly stabbed at the Chautauqua Institution in New York state on 12 August 1922, as he was about to deliver a lecture. He ruefully reflects on this attack which caused him to lose sight in his right eye, as well as the use of his left hand, in his 2024 memoir, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder. "Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary. a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the imagination." -The Guardian. 919. signed.

Drake. Menon thanks Drake for loan of the book and apologizes for being slow to return it due to "my own recent state of turmoil, brought on by what has happened around us and by our likely departure for Tokyo. at the end of August." The reference is certainly to the turmoil attending the Tiananmen Square events. According to Drake's obituary in the Globe & Mail Oct. 21, 2023 the "most significant professional challenge" of his long and distinguished career was "the management of the Canadian Embassy during the 1989 Tiananmen crisis, and direction of the large-scale evacuation of Canadians from China. Recalled to capital over the Chinese Government's violent suppression of the student movement, he testified to Parliament, which brought him further recognition and even grudging approbation from the Chinese Government, which, despite registering vehement protests, viewed his assessments given in public fora as factual and fair." The letter bears Menor's signature. An interesting and attractive copy of the true (British) first edition/first printing of this world-historical novel. Numberline to '1'.
