Salman Rushdie – Home | Review

Title: Home

Author: Salman Rushdie

Type: Fiction

Page Count/Review Word Count: 92

Rating: 4/5

 

 

Home contains excerpts from Shame, Imaginary Homelands, East, West and Joseph Anton, none of which I’ve ever read. In fact, I haven’t picked up any of Rushdie’s stuff before, but I’ve always wanted to and this was a pretty decent little introduction for me. Rushdie has a certain way with words that just makes his stuff super satisfying to read, whether you’re interested in the subject matter or not. I must read more.

Unfortunately I just found this too sickly sweet for my liking, which is a shame because it’s the first book that I’ve tried out of my Vintage Mini Moderns box set. It’s also put me off reading any more Alcott, I think I’m just too old and jaded for her style of writing. And her dialogue in particular.
