| Summary |
In this study of Salman Rushdie, currently one of the world's most controversial writers, Professor Goonetilleke focuses on Rushdie as a novelist, but sets this within the context of 'The Rushdie affair' and the cultural background to his work. In examining Rushdie's development as a writer and the innovative nature of his art that has made him a major postmodernist, Professor Goonetilleke offers full readings of Rushdie's work to date. With original and fresh insight, he provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction to Salman Rushdie, rendering a 'difficult' author accessible to student, general reader and scholar alike |
