La célébrité de ce livre vient de ce que son auteur a été condamné à mort par l'Ayatollah Komeiny (décédé peu après) pour crime de lèse-Mahomet. Mais comme le souligne J. P. Péroncel-Hugoz, l'islam n'est pas la seule cible de ce roman parodique et rocambolesque qui se déroule entre deux pôles: Bombay et Londres. L'Inde et l'immigration (essentiellement indienne à Londres) sont au coeur de cette fresque-dédale anglo-indo-pakistanaise "à l'écriture incandescente". Accès plutôt difficile. SDM

Work Description

The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie's fourth novel, first published September 26, 1988 and inspired in part by the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. As with his previous books, Rushdie used magical realism and relied on contemporary events and people to create his characters. The title refers to the satanic verses, a group of Quranic verses that refer to three pagan Meccan goddesses: Allāt, Uzza, and Manāt. The part of the story that deals with the "satanic verses" was based on accounts from the historians al-Waqidi and al-Tabari.

In the United Kingdom, The Satanic Verses received positive reviews, was a 1988 Booker Prize finalist (losing to Peter Carey's Oscar and Lucinda) and won the 1988 Whitbread Award for novel of the year.

Excerpts

"To be born again," sang Gibreel Farishta tumbling from the heavens, "first you have to die."
