Description: One of the most celebrated authors of our time, Rushdie writes thought-provoking novels in a compelling narrative that blends myth and fantasy with real life. He is the author of the Booker Prize-winning Midnight’s Children and the provocative book The Satanic Verses. His forthcoming book The Enchantress of Florence is a historical novel about a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man’s world, while the recently-released Shalimar the Clown artfully explores the co-existence of different faiths and cultures.
The New Yorker calls Rushdie, “A glittering novelist – one with startling imagination and intellectual resources, a master of perpetual storytelling.”
