The world renowned author of The Satanic Verses and The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Salman Rushdie is a Whitbread Award winner and recipient of the Booker Prize. His first truly American novel, Fury is a metaphorically rich black comedy that reflects the pressure-cooker of modern life.
Malik Solanka, irascible doll-maker and retired historian of ideas, suffers the pain of wanting without knowing exactly what it is he wants. Aged 55, he is at once filled with melancholy and surging rage--so much so that he fears for the safety of his wife and young son. Escaping to New York City and its crowded streets, Malik seeks to extinguish himself and forget the life he left behind in London. It is here, in this void of virtual anonymity, that he falls in love again. In battle for possession of his very soul, Malik exemplifies the human need for connection. This unabridged recording features author Salman Rushdie's own intensely powerful narration.

WhatABook!The breathless, breathtaking rant of a deeply unhappy man, who has lost himself and has also stopped searching, of a man who no longer recognizes the world around him, but understands it perfectly.I can't say I like the book, simply because there was so much anger in every line.However, it is written masterfully. Rushdie is of course an incredibly well educated, well read and extremely well versed, so it's no surprise that his book is a literary delight!
