Product Description

 
Salman Rushdie's first full-length novel since THE SATANIC VERSES is the story of a dynasty of spice traders in Bombay. The families in the story are neither Hindu nor Muslim, but Jewish and Christian. Rushdie follows his usual circuitous route to the end of the story, but the telling of the story has always been the point for him: he is a post-modern Scheherazade.

Rushdie's Masterpiece: Humor Was Never So Ominous, or Disaster So Funny.

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: A masterful novel. Surrender your expectations and it will invite you in.
Review:

*Sigh*

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2000
Review: The fatwa obviously had an effect on Rushdie - and the empty vessel of The Moor's Last Sigh shows that it wasn't good.
Written whilst stuck in hiding, TMLS is a shadow of everything that has gone before it; an epic tale of the Indian...

A treat for the senses: Rushdie's Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2000
Review: Salmon Rushdie?s The Moor?s Last Sigh is a heady, sensual, wordy, moving, funny, wonderful book. It does for the English language what Joyce?s Ulysses did over a century ago, expanding our vocabulary and consequently our ability to perceive and...

First Line
