FICTION/LITERATURE
"Poignant and intimate boisterously inventive gently provocative." —The New York Times Book Review
In his first major work of fiction since The Satanic Verses., Salman Rushdie gives us nine stories that reveal the oceanic distances and the unexpected intimacies between East and West. From rickshaw drivers to occultists, Christopher Columbus to Hamlet's court jester, the characters in East, !Vest inhabit a world in which nationality, and even identity, shift unpredictably and deliriously.
In London in the swinging sixties, an elderly Indian ayah and a Slavic porter strike up a romance based on a mutual appreciation of chess and The Flintstones. In fabulous Srinagar, a moneylender is tragically enthralled by a purloined religious relic. And in the territory between, two diplomats, who as schoolmates entertained themselves with Star Trek fantasies, go boldly into the hyperspace of international terrorism. Daring, extravagant, comical, and humane, East, West... Tovább

In London in the swinging sixties, an elderly Indian ayah and a Slavic porter strike up a romance based on a mutual appreciation of chess and The Flintstones. In fabulous Srinagar, a moneylender is tragically enthralled by a purloined religious relic. And in the territory between, two diplomats, who as schoolmates entertained themselves with Star Trek fantasies, go boldly into the hyperspace of international terrorism. Daring, extravagant, comical, and humane, East, West renews Rushdie's stature as one of our most gifted—and genuinely prophetic—writers.
"Above all is the range and versatility of Rushdie's use of language, from tightly controlled to dazzlingly free, from mock-Shokespeoreon to mimic-Indian. More than any other English writer, Rushdie mokes the page sing with his prose."—Washington Post Vissza
