Book summarySalman 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. Media reviews"Peppered with politics and betrayal, sugared with art and love, well spiced with pimps, beauty queens, gangsters, freaks, fanatics and lunatics, 'The Moor's Last Sigh" is a grand family chronicle of the passionate love and business affairs of a grotesque and rich Indian family. This book, in its scope, its ambition, and its magic, most resembles 'Midnight's Children', the best of Salman Rushdie's previous novels....it proves that Rushdie is one of the most brilliant magicians of the English language writing now." |
