Rushdie on a Roll ... in Several Respects

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2000
Review: The death sentence imposed by the Iranian mullahs may be the best thing that ever happened to Salman Rushdie's career. Not only did he become a household name, but his forced seclusion allowed him to retool his work. Those who love this prolific and...

TheGroundBeneathHerFeet: "For what I worshipped stole my love away..."

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: An example of why Rushdie is one of our finest writers--the man's control of the English language, as well as his cultural knowledge-base, is astounding.
Review: Salman Rushdie's The Ground Beneath Her Feet is a mesmerizing and frustrating read, both at once. It is masterfully crafted and very clearly reemphasizes that Rushdie is one of our very finest writers--the man has a supernatural control of our...

Rushdie's Finest!

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2007
Review: Having unsuccessfully attempted to tackle some of Rushdie's previous works, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease with which he kept me turning the pages of this one. The book is a perfect example of Salaman's genius and his aptitude as a writer. ...

Professional Reviews

  New York Times: "Despite Rushdie's myriad talents as a writer, the resulting novel is a decidedly disappointing performance: a handful of dazzling set pieces, bundled together with long-winded digressions, tiresome soliloquizing about love and death and art, and cliched descriptions of the rock 'n' roll business worthy of Jackie Collins....Sadly for the reader, Rushdie seems to have misplaced his magician's ability to fuse the mythic and the mundane, the surreal and the authentic, into a seamless whole."
