Salman Rushdie
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.

“shame” overwhelms with a plethora of unfamiliar names and references, and a story that has no heroes, and really very little beginning or end. It’s almost as if Rushdie would wake up in the middle of the night from a dream and start
Writing Rushdie has a fabulous ability to express himself , and perhaps if I read this rather than listened to the book, I would have better grasped its significance. After chapter 2 or decided I was done with “Shame” but Somehow I kept returning to the book because of the beauty of the writing and the fantastic job this narrator has done. Having the completed the laborious task of wading through the often disgusting images that adorn the tome,I’m looking forward to listening to a nice, simple Daniel Silva novel to clean my palate!
Should have quit at chapter 2
