Shalimar the Clown

Shalimar the Clown

by Salman Rushdie

  • LITERATURE
  • 2006
  • PAPER
  • 398 PAGES

Very much in the tradition of Midnight's Children and The Moor's Last Sigh, Rushdie's sprawling novel overflows with allusions, ideas, characters and commentary. As told through the life of Shalimar, it concerns, among other things, the fate of Kashmir, Hindu and Muslim animosity, adultery and contemporary Los Angeles.  (IDA270, $16.00)
