Why I love Rushdie: "literature [tries] to open the universe, to increase, even if only slightly, the sum total of what it is possible for human being to perceive, understand,and so, finally, to be."

This book is riveting. Rushdie makes a good case for his being an icon of post-post-modern modernity. His experience foreshadows the events of 9/11 and those that follow. R is at his best when he's bringing together many disparate elements to show how they fit into a complicated totality - he did it with India in MC. He does something similar here. Bonus: there's some romance, deception, spy stuff, and Bono.
