Salman Rushdie
The Satanic Verses
New York: Viking Press, 1989.
True First printing, with full number line.
Rushdie's fourth novel, which had the undeserved effect of making him the recipient of death threats (and now a wounding attack) from illiterate fanatics in the Islamic world.
Outrage was felt because he included the Prophet as a character in a cycle of good versus evil, which is presented in a constantly shifting repetition of characters, in the style of an Indian epic.
The book remains an icon for the freedom of the imagination and one of the most famous works of our times.
As New in as new dust-jacket.
Hardcover.
