Summary/Abstract: The Satanic Verses is one of Rushdie’s most complex works, capturing the postcolonial’s varying attitudes in the newly discovered world, while questioning tradition and modernity in a rather dangerous manner. The multilayered issues emerging from this novel make it the postcolonial novel among Rushdie’s many: it does not content itself with glorifying plurality, but also exposes its tragic consequences.
