Description: Beautiful hardcover copy of The Satanic Verses, by Salman Rushdie (Viking, 1989; 2nd printing). One of the most notorious novels ever published, The Satanic Verses led to Rushdie being targeted in a fatwa by the supreme leader of Iran, which led in turn to multiple assassination attempts against the author. On the literary side, however, The Satanic Verses was recognized as a major achievement by Rushdie. The book was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1988 and won the Whitbread Prize. The story revolves around two Indian expatriates in England, but the majority of the story consists of magical realist dream visions about the life of Muhammad. This book is in excellent condition, with a pristine dust jacket and no rips, tears, marks, or other major signs of wear.
