Please join us for the UUFP Book Club, at noon on April 19th, at UUFP in the Social Room after potluck @12:30- 2:30 for a discussion of our latest book choice:The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s fourth novel, first published in and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad.
“Just before dawn one winter’s morning, a hijacked jetliner explodes above the English Channel. Through the falling debris, two men-Gibreel Farishta, the biggest movie star in India, and Saladin Chamcha, an expatriate returning from his first visit to Bombay in fifteen years-plummet from the sky. Washing up on the snow-covered sands of an English beach, they proceed through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations.
The Satanic Verses is a wonderfully erudite study of the evil and good entwined within the hearts of women and men, an epic journey of tears and laughter, served up by a writer at the height of his powers.”
