Salman Rushdie Thread

I'm not really into magic realism myself, but I think Murakami does it better.
Its pretty genre fiction tier

I do. Midnight's Children is by common agreement his best, and I enjoyed Shalimar the Clown. Haven't got around to the Satanic Verses yet.

I think Gunther Grass does a similar kind of magic realism better, though. The Tin Drum is magnificent.

Also there's those wacky South Americans, obviously.

I like him. Midnight's Children, Satanic Verses, and The Moor's Last Sigh are excellent. Not too enthused about his latest stuff though.

There's a story about Salman Rushdie hiding out at Pynchon's house during the whole fatwah controversy.

Also just get a pdf. Much more anonymous.

Or the audio.

Enjoy your fatwa infidel

wise children by angela carter features a lot of magic realism...

Rushdie is probably the best English language magical realist author, although that's not saying much.

Read some Borges instead.
