Literary Fiction
by Salman Rushdie
Two Indian expatriates survive a hijacked plane's explosion and fall to earth transformed—one angelic, one demonic. Rushdie's sprawling epic braids migration, identity, faith, and doubt through dazzling linguistic invention and myth-soaked narrative. Controversial and brilliant, it confronts fundamentalism and hybridity in a novel that became as incendiary as its themes.
