Condition: FINE. First US printing. A collection of 75 essays and reviews written over a period of 10 years by this award-winning author. "Whether he is analyzing racial prejudice in Britain or surveying an India riven by fundamentalism and politics of religious hatred, Rushdie writes as an impartial observer, a citizen of the world. His sympathies range from Grace Paley's stories to Thomas Pynchon's political allegories. He situates such writers as Gunter Grass, John le Carre and Mario Vargas Llosa in a political context. Along with a . . withering portrayal of Margaret Thatcher's class-ridden, jingoist Britain, there are two resounding replies to critics of 'The Satanic Verses'." (Publishers Weekly) INSCRIBED on the title page and dated in 1992. 432 pp. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket.

A collection of 70 pieces by Rushdie, Imaginary Homelands gathers lectures, broadcasts, reviews, interviews, and articles written between 1981 and 1991. Arranged into thematic sections, these deal with subcontinental themes (specifically related to Midnight's Children, the politics of India and Pakistan, and Indo-Anglian literature, including Kipling); with movies and television -- including Rushdie on Richard Attenborough's Ghandi; and with the experience of Indian migrants to Britain and other political issues. Large sections are dedicated to Rushdie's writing on other authors, and the book closes with essays on 'the crisis that engulfed my novel The Satanic Verses' (p. 6). In his review of the volume in The New York Times (2 June 1991), Robert Towers praised 'the eloquence and pathos of the three concluding pieces' in particular. Published on 28 March 1991, this first edition had a print-run of 15,000 copies. ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.
