Condition: Near Fine
Description: First Edition, Second Printing, November 1983. Winner of the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger. Bright & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. "In his magnificent new novel, SHAME, Rushdie takes us back to the world of the East, giving us a colorful, complex fantasy at once comic and serious--an amazing mixture of history, myth, art, language, politics, religion, but all 'at a slight angle to reality.' [] The setting: a country that is 'not Pakistan, or not quite.' The story: a saga of rivalry, passion, brotherhood, betrayal, sexual obsession, violence, and revenge. The narrator: the novelist himself, who weaves into his chimerical tale accounts of the actual people and actual events that are the seeds of his fantasy. [] The central characters: the families of two men (one a celebrated warrior, the other a debauched playboy) engaged in a protracted duel that is played out in the political life of their country. The hero: Omar Khayyam Shakil, born (mysteriously and hilariously) of three mothers, a man plagued from birth by an improbable vertigo (a fear of living at the edge of the world) and, indeed, so peripheral by nature that even in this--the story of his own life--he is, in a sense, only a minor character. The heroine: Sufiya Zinobia, a woman preternaturally receptive to others' unfelt emotions, absorbing like a sponge the unfelt shame of those around her--becoming a monster, a murderess, a human guillotine, a fiery ravening Beast of shame, the flesh-and-blood incarnation of the shame of an entire country. [] The explosive comedies and delicate dramas that run through these lives--the loves, the conflicts, the exploits and adventures, the quirks of inescapable fate--are recounted with humor, compassion, and stylistic brilliance. SHAME is a novel dense with life and with truth--'a sort of modern fairy tale,' rooted in the events of our own world but refracted through a uniquely fertile imagination. It will confirm Salman Rushdie's stature as one of the most original and important writers of our time." [jacket copy] "There can seldom have been so robust and baroque an incarnation of the political novel as SHAME. It can be read as a fable, polemic, or excoriation; as history or as fiction . . . This is the novel as myth and as satire."--Sunday Telegraph. "SHAME is and is not about Pakistan, that invented, 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. Near Fine hardcover (Not a remainder) w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding (some foxing on spine's cloth), wrapped in an intact, sharp VG jacket w/white spaces gone uniformly dusky. Quite presentable.
