This book looks at ways of reading, uncovering and recovering meanings in postcolonial writing in English through the works of Salman Rushdie.

It analyses how Rushdie uses his exceptional mastery of European, Anglo-American, Indian, Arabic and Persian literary and cultural forms to cultivate a fresh register of English that expands Western literary traditions.
