Salman Rushdie is a genius and I wish he could read me a story -
or a chapter of his book - every night before bed. The scale
and scope of his intellect and his imagination is googolplex. --
A.M. Homes, author of THE UNFOLDING
It does not resemble any other novel I could name. A major
accomplishment by one of our greatest living writers. --
Michael Cunningham, author of THE HOURS
No one, and I mean no one, can bring an entire world to life...
[like] Salman Rushdie. -- Gary Shteyngart, author of OUR
COUNTRY FRIENDS
This is Salman Rushdie at his most virtuosic. -- Hari
Kunzru, author of THE IMPRESSIONIST
It will show you the adult world in a whole new light. Only a
master storyteller can do that. -- Jarvis Cocker, author of
GOOD POP, BAD POP
