Trade ReviewA brilliant symphony... Exceptional... One of Rushdie's best novels yet * Independent *
Extraordinary... Worth engaging with at every level; a thrilling story told in thrilling language * The Times *
Shalimar the Clown is Rushdie's
most engaging book since Midnight's Children. It is a lament. It is a revenge story. it is a love story. And it is a warning * Observer *
Deeply disturbing and immensely moving... An exquisite, broken thing of pain and beauty * Independent *
Excellent... A characteristically daring walk along the tightrope of fiction * Sunday Telegraph *
