Product details
Product Description
Book Information
The Jaguar Smile is stirring and original is in its simple descriptions of the country ... though it lacks the verbal energy of Mr. Rushdie's own fiction, it has been written with a novelist's eye for irony and metaphor; and it gives us an impressionistic picture of the country in bright, patchwork colours unavailable in your usual journalistic dispatches.--The New York Times Book Review, Michiko Kakutani

Salman Rushdie's extraordinary book ... is a masterpiece of sympathetic yet critical reporting graced with his marvellous wit, quietly assertive style, odd and yet always revealing experience ... To say of The Jaguar Smile that it is a work of art is to take full note of its literary allusions, its uncompromising sensitivity to death and destruction, its ready political eye for the funny and grotesque, and above all it its understated and gripping eloquence.--Edward W. Said
