Imaginary Homelands

Salman Rushdie. Imaginary Homelands: Essays and Criticism 1981-1991. London: Granta Books, 1991, First edition. Octavo. 432 pages. Rushdie at his most candid, impassioned, and incisive--an important and moving record of one writer's intellectual and personal odyssey.

These 75 essays demonstrate Rushdie's range and prophetic vision, as he focuses on his fellow writers, on films, and on the mine-strewn ground of race, politics and religion.
