About this title

Synopsis

A record of one writer's intellectual and personal odyssey. The 75 essays collected here, written over the last ten years, cover a range of subjects - the literature of the received masters and of Rushdie's contemporaries; the politics of colonialism and the ironies of culture; film, politicians, the Labour Party, religious fundamentalism in America, racial prejudice; and the preciousness of the imagination and of free expression.
