Book Review of Shalimar the Clown

Shalimar the Clown
reviewed on + 20 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


One of the most engrossing novels I have ever read. The pathos and tragedy of the history setting seems to drive the "innocent" people to even more pathetic actions. More approachable by far than Satanic Verse, and more powerful because the characters are so real.
