Kirkus: "For sheer headlong inexhaustible inventive force and fury, there's been nothing like this in England since Thomas Pynchon's 'Gravity's Rainbow' in 1973. It's Nobel Prize time." |

| Publisher's Note: |
I have lost count of the days that have passed since I fled the horrors of Vasco Miranda's mad fortress in the Andalusian mountain-village of Benengeli; ran from death under cover of darkness and left a message nailed to the door. |

| Details: |
Salman Rushdie's first full-length novel since THE SATANIC VERSES is the story of a dynasty of spice traders in Bombay. The families in the story are neither Hindu nor Muslim, but Jewish and Christian. Rushdie follows his usual circuitous route to the end of the story, but the telling of the story has always been the point for him: he is a post-modern Scheherazade. |
