Salman Rushdie — The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Jonathan Cape 1999 Paperback, 575pp. The Ground Beneath Her Feet is Salman Rushdie's most gripping novel and his boldest imaginative act, a vision of our shaken, mutating times, an engagement with the whole of what is and what might be, an account of the intimate, flawed encounter between the East and the West, a brilliant remaking of the myth of Orpheus, a novel of high (and low) comedy, high (and low) passions, high (and low) culture. It is a tale of love, death, and rock 'n' roll. Heavy; Uncorrected Proof. Stamped 'Reading Copy' on text block edge. (ISBN: 0224044192). Good.
