Rushdie has put behind him the political and religious controversy that surrounded him in the aftermath of the appearance of The Satanic Verses. These two volumes endeavour to continue the literary-critical study of his works by bringing together some of the best critical essays written in the post-‘Verses controversy’ period. The essays present an honest assessment of Rushdie’s works by creatively engaging with the issues each of them raises.
