Set in a modern world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang: the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil. This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for The Satanic Verses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Rushdie is a storyteller of prodigious powers, able to conjure up whole geographies, causalities, climates, creatures, customs, out of thin air.”—The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary . . . a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the imagination.”—The Guardian (London)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A novel of metamorphoses, hauntings, memories, hallucinations, revelations, advertising jingles, and jokes.
