About The Satanic Verses
The Satanic Verses centers around two characters, Gibreel and Saladin, who miraculously survive a plane hijacking and are transformed as a result, developing similarities with the archangel Gabriel and the devil respectively. In Rushdie’s magical realist narrative, their stories are interwoven with a reimagining of the early days of Islam, including the role played by the Prophet Muhammed. The novel met with critical acclaim: it was shortlisted for the 1988 Man Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Award for novel of the year in the same year. However, its treatment of Islam sparked controversy, and in 1989 Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa calling for the assassination of Rushdie and his publishers.
