A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK. "Salman Rushdie's great grasp of the human tragicomedy--its dimensions, its absurdities and horrors--has made him one of the most intelligent fiction writers in the English language." -Gail Caldwell,The Boston Globe. "Fury is a profoundly, ecstatically affirmative work of fiction. It reaffirms Rushdie's standing ... at the very front rank of contemporary literary novelists." -Baltimore Sun.
