KAITHAL (HR) 136027 Salman Rushdie is one of the leading Anglo-Indian novelists of the twentieth century, taking inspiration from a variety of genres in his writing. His style is often likened to magic realism, which mixes religion, fantasy, and mythology into reality. He has been compared to authors such as Peter Carey, Emma Tennant, and Angela Carter. The familiar way in which some of his works treat religion has provoked criticism, however, peaking in the Ayatollah of Iran issuing death threats in response to The Satanic Verses, his fourth novel.
