Interpretation Conducive To Books Shame
The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie’s phantasmagoric epic of an unnamed country that is “not quite Pakistan.” In this dazzling tale of an ongoing duel between the families of two men–one a celebrated wager of war, the other a debauched lover of pleasure–Rushdie brilliantly portrays a world caught between honor and humiliation–“shamelessness, shame: the roots of violence.” Shame is an astonishing story that grows more timely by the day.Rating Regarding Books Shame

yuck. perhaps I'm just not as intelligent as I thought, but, I hated this book. There I said it. And, I'm just going to leave it at that.Shame - a perfect tool of mass control for those who are shameless enough to use it! Oh, for those of you who are not familiar with Salman Rushdies storytelling skills: even his characters suffer from confusion and dizziness while he is working on them. Somewhat nauseous after the ride, I try to put two sentences together that make sense of the extraordinary reading experience I just had. It is hard, though, for more happens in a subclause in Rushdies universe than other people manage to put
"Shame is like everything else; live with it for long enough and it becomes part of the furniture." Salman Rushdie (excerpt from the book).Oh, Salman, my beardy bunnykins gah! Youve only gone and let me down AGAIN! *sigh*I revere Rushdie. I even proclaimed him to be one of my favourite authors, right here on my profile page, alongside Dickens, Márquez and dear old Dumas. But, alas, heres another book of his that cannot hope to rival the magnificence of Midnights Children. Set in a country that
This book was stolen before I could finish it. I was using a picture of myself holding a puppy as my bookmark. Someone was shameless enough to steal a copy of a book titled Shame, which held a photo of its rightful owner and a puppy. Sharam. Sharam. Sharam.
Rushdie has a very unique style to his storytelling; he narrates as a character outside of his tale, yet is wholly invested in it. His tone is casual, imitating the convolutions of an orally told story with not all the bits told in order. In this way, he plays with temporal and spatial linearity very freely, giving hints of the future in tantalising teasers- but still manages to surprise the reader. Shame is about politics, but it is also about families, and failures, and the fractures that can
"When a reader falls in love with a book, it leaves its essence inside him " Salman RushdieThis was my first venture into the incredible mind of Salman Rushdie and I have to say he does not leave one wanting for lovely, metaphorical prose! He has an intense, edge-of-your-seat writing style that keeps the account moving along at a fast pace. Set in an imaginary Islamic society, the book explores shame in all its variations. The characters are swimming in their indignity from the outset. Rushdie
Shame is fantastic--not in the pop sense of high quality, but in the literal sense of worlds beyond reality. The book is filled with strange beasts and diseases. It travels through vast realms of soul, spirit, government, psychology, medicine, history, politics, religion, philosophy. It takes place in a country that is not quite Pakistan, and in a time that ranges from prehistory to the present. I am quite sure that those versed in Indian/Afghan/Iranian history find reams of allegory in the
