In Rushdie's hybrid world, an Indian guru can be a redheaded Welshman, while Chrisopher Columbus is an immigrant, dreaming of Western glory. Rushdie allows himself, like his characters, to be pulled now in one direction, then in another. Yet he remains a writer who insists on our cultural complexity; who, rising beyond ideology, refuses to choose between East and West and embraces the world. 650 0 $a Short stories. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Crossley, Steven. 700 1 $a Malhotra, Sunil. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 830 0 $a Recorded Books classics library. 941 $a 1 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518021428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4642B2322EFD11E7A97D5AD2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
