Ebook About #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “[A] torrent of endlessly inventive prose, by turns comic and enraged, embracing life in all its contradictions. In this spectacular novel, verbal pyrotechnics barely outshine its psychological truths.”—NewsdayWinner of the Whitbread PrizeOne of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written, The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanizing book. Set in a modern world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang: the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil. This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times.Praise for The Satanic Verses“Rushdie is a storyteller of prodigious powers, able to conjure up whole geographies, causalities, climates, creatures, customs, out of thin air.”—The New York Times Book Review“Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary . . . a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the imagination.”—The Guardian (London)“A novel of metamorphoses, hauntings, memories, hallucinations, revelations, advertising jingles, and jokes. Rushdie has the power of description, and we succumb.”—The Times (London)Book The Satanic Verses: A Novel Review :
Review for the Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, published 1988All I knew about this book was that it was so controversial that Iran’s Supreme Leader; Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa (an Islamic Legal opinion/pronouncement) that Salman Rushdie (and anyone involved in publishing this book) should be executed for blasphemy. Boy, did that cause a world-wide kerfuffle! That was over 40 years ago and the Ayatollah’s fatwa still stands. This year I figured it was time that I found out what all the controversy is about.This book took me a long time to get through. The bottom line: I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. It didn’t make me mad, except for the wanky ending. It was not a book that; ‘I couldn’t wait to read another chapter(s) tonight.’ It was a book I could easily go a week or more before picking it up again.This book is by far the most bizarre story and style I’ve ever read. It’s written in a style/form that would make Shrunk and White go apoplectic. Some sentences run on for a page, trying to use as many grammatical markings (commas, colons, semi-colons, m-dashes, slashes, parenthesis, etc.) as possible. I understood what he was saying, but man, I would almost guess he was on meth when he penned this.The story jumps around quite a bit, though revolving (or so it seems) around two main characters. Sometimes it gets so bizarre that I had to ask; Where the **** is he going with this? I couldn’t guess if one or both main characters where really angels or delusional schizophrenics.After I would discuss parts of this book with my wife, she always asked; ‘Why are you still reading it?’ Answer: I wanted to know what was so terrible about it that a religious leader would order the author to be executed.Somewhere in there, he does explain how Mohammed came to write the Koran and have answers, or rather confirmations of his own opinions, that came from the angel Gabriel. Rushdie opines that Mohammed came from a distinct culture and class, and that his opinions are directly reflective of that culture. This left me asking ‘What? That’s what all the hubbub is about?’Do I recommend this book? No. The part about Mohammed and the Koran is interesting, but the rest is a series of messes and confusion. I've waited a good two weeks after finishing this book to write this review. I wanted to let my mental dust settle. Now I feel obliged to my fellow readers and to my own academic pursuits to have at it. First, I must say that this is one of the few books I've read since my retirement nine years ago that was really WORK to read. Nevertheless, I was compelled to buy it, because of its historical importance: I needed to see what it was that caused its author to receive a condemnation to death by a very highly placed religious source. They put a price put on his head — a bounty — to encourage his murder. The author suffered years of agonizing grief hiding from the madmen searching him out. Fortunately, in the best interests of civilization, they haven't found him — yet.As for the literature, indeed the author is brilliant — an artist with the language, sometimes a poet. But the author, while brilliant with his craft, is NOT a good story teller. The story rambles painfully. I found my own agony just trying to follow it. The genre is called "magical realism," if I recall correctly. After finishing the book, I had to call it up on Wikipedia to learn that it's actually three stories in one. Yes, I knew going in that it was offensive to Islam, thus the fatwa. Nevertheless, I hung in, trying to stay up with the different characters, some of whom have three different names.Had I not some background with Islamic studies, I would have been left behind on page five. I've lived in Saudi Arabia for almost a year in the mid seventies, I've read the Quran, the hadith and a biography of Muhammad. Even with that background, I was BARELY able to recognize the satire. I say EMPHATICALLY, unless you FIRST read at least a biography of Muhammad, DO NOT read this book!! Then, tape your ankles!!Finally, apart from recognizing the author's genius, I'll assess the real value of this novel at the bottom line: Together with the outrageous reaction to it and the advocation of a heinous crime by those offended, we are helped in our understanding of the utterly low level of civilization among a large part of our population today. Is there hope for them in the 21st century? You tell me.
