Shalimar the Clown - Salman Rushdie not available in the english speaking world till a month from now....I've got a Dutch copy!! The new Salman Rushdie novel has hit Dutch shelves yesterday! I got my copy this morning and have had to control myself to the most hanous extremes just to finish my work and leave it on the desk. But now I've started reading it! And it's great!!! His books are always a treat but this one has many signs of absolute greatness. I can tell that I'll be finishing it tonight even if it takes staying up till the early hours. At 421 pages it's a good read to be sure, enough breath to tell an enveloping story yet not so long as to wind up boring and surplus. Although I don't think that's possible in a Rushdie novel. "The Moor's Last Sigh" could have easily been another 300 pages longer and I'd have licked it all from the pages. absolute majesty. now if you'll excuse me, I have a date for the night [Edited 8/12/05 9:13am] and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

it's very up to date centering mainly about terrorism and about how a shy normal boy becomes a terrorist in today's society. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

It's about a clown who constantly sings "Dancing in the Sheets" Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
