About this title

Synopsis

This is the scarce first edition of Salman Rushdie's first novel. This challenging book has been classed as science fiction or fantasy and concerns extremely strange events which happen in a different dimension to our own. A difficult book but rewarding.

Review

"Thunderous and touching" Financial Times "Engrossing and wonderful" Los Angeles Times "Ambitious, strikingly confident" Times Literary Supplement "Stimulating, funny, a thoroughly good read" Harpers & Queen "A mixture of science fiction and folktale, past and future, primitive and present day... Grimus is a parallel form of life, and conjuring of an alternative society" Financial Times
