In Salmon Rushdie: A Deleuzian Reading, the author analyses five of Rushdie's novels, Grimus, Midnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses and The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Claiming an intellectual kinship between Rushdie and the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze in regard to worldview, aesthetics and human identity, Soren Frank's analytical starting point is Deleuze's concepts of rhizome and simulacrum, which are used as guiding principles in his comprehensive examination of Rushdie's compositional and enunciatory strategies and his portrayals of a variety of memorable migrant characters.<BR><BR>The volume will be of special relevance to students, scholars and general readers concerned with the work of Salman Rushdie and Gilles Deleuze.
