Book Condition & Notes
Very good first edition, in a very good unclipped dust-jacket. Foxing and yellowing to the pages, with some signs of wear and minor fading on the dust-jacket. This book is located in our Brighton store, and may take longer for delivery.
About the book
The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie’s phantasmagoric epic of an unnamed country that is “not quite Pakistan.”
In this dazzling tale of an ongoing duel between the families of two men–one a celebrated wager of war, the other a debauched lover of pleasure–Rushdie brilliantly portrays a world caught between honor and humiliation–“shamelessness, shame: the roots of violence.”
Shame is an astonishing story that grows more timely by the day.
