A review by ferris_mx
The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
4.0
Seemed a lot more relevant to the immigrant experience than anything else. But its portrayals and allegories to the early days of Muhammed's prophecy are not complimentary to the spiritual base of Islam. So sad, too bad.
The "angel" is far from perfect and the "devil" is not altogether bad.
It was amusing to realize that this book was written almost exactly halfway through India's existence from independence to now.
Well worth reading, and I could definitely benefit from reading again at some point.
