About this title

Synopsis

A record of one writer's intellectual and personal odyssey. The 75 essays collected here, written over the last ten years, cover a range of subjects - the literature of the received masters and of Rushdie's contemporaries; the politics of colonialism and the ironies of culture; film, politicians, the Labour Party, religious fundamentalism in America, racial prejudice; and the preciousness of the imagination and of free expression.

Review

"Literature of the highest order" (Michael Foot)

"A book bristling with intelligence, deeply held opinions, and wonderful flights of fancy" (Boston Globe)

"Playful profound and provocative...Rushdie is never less than instructive. He holds nothing back" (New York Newsday)

"A deft, various, and humane collection" (Christopher Hitchens Independent)

"More intelligence and intellectual courage than most writers summon up in a lifetime" (The Times)
