City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

One of the most controversial and acclaimed stories ever written, The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanizing work. 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 mid-flight. 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 story whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times.
