About the Book:

Death threats, fatwa to behead and even murderous assaults have not been able to strangulate the voice of Salman Rushdie, who has always championed free thinking and the freedom to express with exquisite courage and an indomitable writer’s spirit. With his fabulous fictional experimentations and innovative narrative devices, he has not only enchanted and amused readers but has also inspired them to value individual liberty, human dignity, democracy and a cosmopolitan world order. A unique feature of this book is its comprehensive nature in discussing the thematic concerns and narrative techniques of ten novels by Salman Rushdie, from a purely scholarly perspective and a researcher’s aptitude. Understanding Rushdie: A Critical Study of Ten Novels has been written with the intention of assisting university students, research scholars as well as general readers in gaining a better understanding of Rushdie’s works of fiction.
