'Shame' is Rushdie's second book in the series of books dealing with Islam and the countries of the East,began with 'Midnight's Children',a Booker McConnell Prize winner (1981),and ending with 'The Satanic Verses' (1988).Both 'Shame' and 'The Satanic Verses' were shortlisted for the same Booker Prize.Salman Rushdie,who dazzled the literary world with his extraordinary vision in 'Midnight's Children',now surpasses even that triumph.As captivating fairy-tale,devastating political satire and exquisite,uproarious entertainment,'Shame' is a novel without rival.
