68 reviewsSalman Rushdie combines magic realism with a fierce rivalry to illustrate his central theme - that shame begets violence and violence begets shame. “[Rushdie’s] novels pour by in a sparkling, voracious onrush... each paragraph luxurious and delicious” (The New Yorker).
“A pitch-black comedy of public life and historical imperatives.” - The Times UK
Shame is set in an imaginary country that strongly resembles Pakistan - a vast, sprawling canvas that illuminates its history, language and politics. The story involves the rivalry between two very different men - one a celebrated warrior, the other a debauched playboy - who are engaged in a protracted duel that is played out in the political landscape of their country.
“Shame is and is not about Pakistan, that invented, an imaginary country, ‘a failure of the dreaming mind'... Rushdie shows us with what fantasy our sort of history must now be written — if, that is, we are to penetrate it, and perhaps even save it.” — The Guardian UK
