Shalimar the Clown
Shalimar the Clown
Author: Salman Rushdie
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback

Although the story is fascinating in itself, I found the most interesting thing about the book was the writing itself. I loved the way Rushdie slides into satire now and then and in general is just a fantastic writer.

This one I have to read again. This time instead of ripping through it in search of the story, I want to take the time to savor the writing.
