* Salman Rushdie - Collected Works, 1975–2023 (28 books)

SALMAN RUSHDIE (b. 1947) is an Indian-born British-American novelist.  His work often combines magic realism with historical fiction and primarily deals with connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, typically set on the Indian subcontinent.

Rushdie's second novel, MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN (1981), a fable about modern India, was an unexpected critical and popular success that won him international recognition.  The book won the Booker Prize in 1981 and was deemed to be "the best novel of all winners" on two occasions, marking the 25th and the 40th anniversary of the prize.

After his fourth novel, THE SATANIC VERSES (1988), Rushdie became the subject of several assassination attempts and death threats, including a fatwa calling for his death issued by Ruhollah Khomeini, the supreme leader of Iran.  Numerous killings and bombings have been carried out by extremists who cite the book as motivation, sparking a debate about censorship and religiously motivated violence.  In 2012, he published JOSEPH ANTON: A MEMOIR, an account of his life in the wake of the events following The Satanic Verses. 

In August 2022, a man stabbed Rushdie after rushing onto the stage where the novelist was scheduled to deliver a lecture at an event in Chautauqua, New York.  He lost sight in one eye and the use of one hand but survived the murder attempt.  (Included in this torrent is his first interview since the attack with David Remnick of the New Yorker.)

His most recent novel, VICTORY CITY (2023), was completed before the attack.  A work of magic realism, it opens in 14th-century India, where a nine-year-old girl becomes a vessel for a goddess and builds a thriving city known for its egalitarianism.  However, greed and religious extremism ultimately lead to its ruination.
