  • Summary

    This introduction to Salman Rushdie in Context focuses on the idea of storytelling so fundamental to Rushdie’s oeuvre. It delineates the manifold ways in which Rushdie animates the idea of the wonder tale in his works to open up the range of contexts covered in this volume. The introduction also offers a wider overview of Rushdie’s publishing career and his biography. It also considers the main themes with which his works engage, ranging from subcontinental politics, postmodernism, postcolonialism, and cosmopolitanism to popular culture and the wider themes of his works. It also delineates the structure of the book and highlights its thematic scope to delineate the different interpretative lenses with which this volume animates Rushdie’s works and his career as a writer.
