 | The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
Rushdie's controversial bestseller, which earned him a sentence of death from the Islamic hierarchy of Iran, is a magical realist fantasy that examines questions of identity and belief. Two survivors of an airplane crash, Saladin and Gibreel, are transformed from ordinary citizens and public figures into personifications of Good and Evil, complete with horns, haloes, and holy wars. Sardonic and bleak at the same time, THE SATANIC VERSES is a striking parable of faith and doubt in the postmodern world. AUTHOR: Salman Rushdie
