Imaginary Homelands - Salman Rushdie







Essays and Criticism 1981-19991. Most of the essays n criticism are not relevant now, at least in my case. Almost 50 authors n their books' reviews. The majority are strangers to me. The last session, the most personal part in defense of  Satanic Verses exposes Mr Rushdie the volatile but vulnerable being. But I haven't read Satanic Verses. Then what makes me read this book from cover to cover? The essays are heavily informative, criticisms inflammable, book reviews imperial and language immortal.

Imaginary Homelands. Yeah.
