East, West
Stories
by Salman Rushdie
Review this book!
From the Booker Prize-winning author of "The Satanic Verses" comes nine stories that reveal the oceanic distances and the unexpected intimacies between East and West. From Indians to Welshmen, rickshaw drivers to occultists, Christopher Columbus to Hamlet's court jester, the characters in "East, West" inhabit a world in which nationality, and even identity, shift unpredictably and deliriously. Daring, extravagant, comical, and humane, "East, West" renews Rushdie's stature as one of our most gifted--and genuinely prophetic--writers.

Media Reviews
"This sometimes poignant and intimate, sometimes boisterously inventive, sometimes gently provocative collection of short stories, formally wide-ranging though it is, is structured as a tight little syllogism. There are exactly nine stories, three each in three sections, with a thesis ('East'), antithesis ('West') and a final synthesis ('East, West') wherein the twain do meet."
