His second novel, \u003ci\u003eMidnight's Children\u003c\/i\u003e, is regularly cited as the ‘Booker of Bookers' and its impact is still being felt throughout in world literature. His fourth novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Satanic Verses\u003c\/i\u003e, led to the ‘Rushdie Affair' certainly the most significant literary-political event since the Second World War. Rushdie has continued to produce challenging fiction, controversial, thought-provoking non-fiction and has a presence on the world stage as a public intellectual. This collection brings together leading scholars to provide an up-to-date critical guide to Rushdie's writing from his earliest works up to the most recent, including his 2012 memoir of his time in hiding, \u003ci\u003eJoseph Anton\u003c\/i\u003e.  Contributors offer new perspectives on key issues, including: Rushdie as a postcolonial writer; Rushdie as a postmodernist; his use and reuse of the canon; the ‘Rushdie Affair'; his responses to 9\/11 and to the ‘War on Terror'; and issues of more complex philosophical weight arising from his fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781441173454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40634018234574,"sku":"9781441173454","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_83a71c95-12df-4b5a-9891-44904a36846f.jpg?v=1638930315","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781441173454","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
