Rushdie' latest novel about an obsessed filmmaker and his relationship with a mysterious wealthy Indian family is a feat that will be discussed, debated, and pored over as with this tale he has written the first novel to capture the spirit and angst of Trump's America. The language is poetically dense at times as Rushdie embraces postmodernism with his combination of magical realism, film scripts, memoir, and other authors' styles such as Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and even a dose of Pynchon.
