“A novel of metamorphoses, hauntings, memories, hallucinations, revelations, advertising jingles, and jokes. a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the imagination.” - The Guardian (London) “Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary. “Rushdie is a storyteller of prodigious powers, able to conjure up whole geographies, causalities, climates, creatures, customs, out of thin air.” - The New York Times Book Review

A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times. This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil. 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. One of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written, The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanizing book.

“ 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.
