Shame
Author: Salman Rushdie
ISBN: 9780099578611
Condition: Pre-Loved
Omar Khayyam Shakil had three mothers who shared the symptoms of pregnancy, as they did everything else — inseparably. At their six breasts, Omar was warned against all feelings and nuances of shame. It was training that would prove useful when he left his mothers’ fortress via the dumb-waiter to face his shameless future.
Part captivating fairy-tale, part devastating political satire, and wholly exquisite entertainment, Shame is Salman Rushdie at his most inventive — a dazzling, darkly comic exploration of power, honour, and the forces that bind and break societies. Set in a thinly veiled Pakistan, it crackles with the same mythic energy and linguistic brilliance that defines Rushdie’s finest work.
A novel without rival — and a must for any serious literary collection.
