Kati Tell me what you think of this when you're done, please? Have you read other Rushdie? I'm interested in how this title compares!


Erin Larson Yeah definitely, I can tell you what I think of it after I’m done. This is the first title I’ve read by Rushdie though. So far I’m thinking that his work must have influenced Chuck Palahniuk; the rhythm of his attention-grabbing points seems very similar. Does his other work comment heavily on the immigrant experience?

Kati Very much so! My favorite Rushdie title is Midnight's Children which is entirely about the Pakistan partition.


Erin Larson I’ll have to read that; I’m interested in learning more about the lived experience of partition.

Kati It's really a great book! I've reread it a few times. Just remember that Rushdie's strength in writing is Magic Realism....
