"Salman Rushdie's great grasp of the human tragicomedy—its dimensions, its absurdities and horrors—has made him one of the most intelligent fiction writers in the English language." —The Boston Globe
"Well, here it is, then, his first 3-D, full-volume American novel, finger-snapping, wildly stupefying, often slyly funny, red-blooded and red-toothed. [Fury] twinkles brightly in tragicomic passages." —The Miami Herald Vissza
