The invocation means no hardship, since every true reader must surely be captivated by Rushdie's masterful invention and ease, the flow of wit and insight and passion. How literature of the highest order can serve the interests of our common humanity is freshly illustrated here: a defence of his past, a promise for the future, and a surrender to nobody or nothing whatever except his own all-powerful imagination.\"-Michael Foot, \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Salman Rushdie's \u003ci\u003eImaginary Homelands\u003c\/i\u003e is an important record of one writer's intellectual and personal odyssey. The seventy essays collected here, written over the last ten years, cover an astonishing 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. For this paperback edition, the author has written a new essay to mark the third anniversary of the fatwa.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Bombay in 1947, \u003cb\u003eSalman Rushdie\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six novels, including \u003cb\u003eGrimus, Shame, The Satanic Verses, The Moor's Last Sigh\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eThe Ground Beneath Her Feet\u003c\/b\u003e, and a volume of essays, \u003cb\u003eImaginary Homelands\u003c\/b\u003e.
