Description:
Quote:In his first novel since The Satanic Verses, Rushdie gives readers a masterpiece of controlled storytelling, informed by astonishing scope and ambition, by turns compassionate, wicked, poignant, and funny. From the paradise of Aurora's legendary salon to his omnipotent father's sky-garden atop a towering glass high-rise, the Moor's story evokes his family's often grotesque but compulsively moving fortunes in a world of possibilities embodied by India in this century.Category:Awards, Fiction, Literature, World Fiction, Fiction Subjects, Literary Fiction, Indian & South Asian Fiction, English, Scottish, & Welsh Fiction, Family & Friendship - Fiction, Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction, Settings & Atmosphere - Fiction, Humorous Fiction, Character Types - Fiction, Culture Clash - Indian & South Asian Fiction, English Fiction - 20th Century - 1945-2000, Family Sagas - Fiction, Indian & South Asian Men, Magic Realism, Mothers & Sons - Fiction, On the Road - Fiction, Tradition & Change - Indian & South Asian Fiction, Tragicomic Fiction, Vagabonds & Drifters - Fiction, 1995 Booker Prize Shortlist, 1995 Whitbread Book Award Winners, Novel->Costa/Whitbread Book Award
