#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.-Newsday Winner of the Whitbread Prize One 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.
