'Rushdie's most engaging book since Midnight's Children' Observer Shalimar the Clown was once a figure full of love and laughter. His skill as a tightrope walker was legendary in his native home of Kashmir. But fate has played him cruelly, torn him away from his beloved home and brought him to Los Angeles, where he works as a chauffeur. One morning he gets up, goes to work, and kills his employer, America's former counter-terrorist chief Maximilian Ophuls, in view of the victim's illegitimate daughter, India. The killing has its roots halfway across the globe, back in Kashmir, a ruined paradise not so much lost as shattered. And gradually it emerges that beyond this unholy trinity of Max, India and Shalimar, lurks a fourth, shadowy figure, one who binds them all together. 'This is Rushdie at his most flamboyant best' Financial Times

Los Angeles, 1991. Maximilien Ophuls, notable américain, ex-ambassadeur des Etats-Unis en Inde, devenu chef de la lutte antiterroriste en Amérique, est égorgé en plein jour, devant chez sa fille illégitime India. Il a été abattu par son chauffeur cachemiri, un mystérieux personnage se faisant appeler Shalimar le clown. Tout semble d'abord indiquer un assassinat politique, mais il s'agit en fait d'un crime passionnel d'une nature très spéciale. Voici l'histoire de Maximilien, de son assassin et de sa fille - ainsi que d'un quatrième personnage, la femme qui unit leurs destins. L'histoire d'un amour profond qui connaît une fin tragique, au fil d'une épopée qui s'étend de la Californie à la France sous l'Occupation, l'Angleterre et, surtout, le Cachemire... Au cœur de ce récit se trouve un paradis terrestre peuplé de pêchers et d'abeilles, de montagnes et de lacs, de femmes aux yeux couleur d'émeraude et d'hommes assassins : un paradis détruit, anéanti plutôt que perdu. Couvrant le globe et traversant l'Histoire, le nouveau récit de Salman Rushdie séduit dès les premières pages et capte l'esprit d'une époque bouleversée et bouleversante.

Salman Rushdie erhält den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels 2023 »für seine Unbeugsamkeit, seine Lebensbejahung und dafür, dass er mit seiner Erzählfreude die Welt bereichert.« (Aus der Begründung der Jury) Vor dem Haus seiner unehelichen Tochter wird Maximilian Ophuls, dem ehemaligen US-Botschafter in Indien, von seinem muslimischen Chauffeur die Kehle durchgeschnitten. Was aussieht wie ein politisch motiviertes Attentat, ist ein zutiefst persönliches Drama. Dies ist die Geschichte von Max, von seinem Mörder und seiner Tochter – und von einer Frau, die am Anfang von allem steht. Die Geschichte einer tiefen Liebe, die verheerend endet. Eine Geschichte, die bis nach Kaschmir führt. Ein verlorenes Paradies auf Erden mit Pfirsichhainen und Honigbienen, Bergen und Seen, grünäugigen Frauen und mörderischen Männern, wo Menschen entwurzelt werden und Namen sich auf einmal ändern – nichts bleibt, wie es ist, und doch ist alles miteinander verbunden. »Rushdies ergreifendstes Buch seit ››Mitternachtskinder‹‹. Es ist eine Wehklage, eine Geschichte von Liebe und Vergeltung. Es ist eine Warnung.« (The Observer) Über die Unversöhnlichkeit der Menschen und das Ende des Paradieses »Ein Psychogramm des globalisierten Bewusstseins. Suggestiv und opulent erzählt.« (Der Tagesspiegel) Dieses Buch trifft mitten hinein in das kulturelle Gedächtnis, das globalisierte Bewusstsein und vor allem in das Herz der Leser

Indian Writers attempt to locate diasporic voices in the interstitial spaces of countless ideologies. The anthology provides a critical examination of dislocated diasporic subjects - those who have adjusted to the dislocation well, those who have chosen the hybrid spaces for empowerment, those who are dragged forcefully to various territories, and yet those who gleefully inhabit trans-local spaces. A wide range of voices raise these critical questions: How do we read these voices? How are the voices received in various locations? Are these voices considered Indian? Do they represent Indianness, or some hybridized version of it? What is an authentic cultural identity? What, ultimately, is Indianness, or for that matter, any hard-won national or ethnic identity? Additionally, as more female writers are being read, both in the global south and in the north, the reception of these texts, particularly in an era of globalization, and in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack in the United States, raises questions on how the «other», the subaltern, is represented and read. Some writers use an assimilationist approach to the cultures of the West to such a degree that they find Indian culture monolithically oppressive, while others continue to romanticize Indianness, yet others eroticize and ethnicize the east for western consumption. The authors of the essays in this anthology examine contemporary debates in postcolonial and transnational literary criticism in an attempt to understand the often complex and hybrid narratives of the diasporic Indian subject.
