© 2005 by Salman Rushdie
From Salman Rushdie–New York Times best-selling author, Booker Prize winner, and one of the great voices in contemporary literature–comes a majestic novel that solidifies the author's right to a Nobel Prize, which Kirkus Reviews says "he deserves more than any other living writer." In Shalimar the Clown, Rushdie effortlessly weaves a series of interconnected narratives to form a sweeping and ambitious tale–at once timeless and startlingly modern–that reaches back through the years and across the continents.
