Abstract

The black-robed Khomeini claimed that Rushdie's brashly profane Satanic Verses was an insult to "the sacred beliefs of Muslims" (Rushdie's theory is that the imam wanted to rally his followers after the ruinous Iran-Iraq War). Pampa's horse-trader paramour has died, and she marries Bukka for love; he's happy to let Pampa put up erotic friezes all over the city. Culture & Critics BOOKS The Miraculous Salman Rushdie His enchanting new novel is a triumph. In a sense, that's true of everything Rushdie has published since 1989, when he went into hiding after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the supreme leader of Iran, issued a fatwa, a religious ruling, in this case condemning Rushdie to death.
