Fury by Salman Rushdie
As I am quite a fan of Mr. Rushdie’s, and believe him to be one ot the best writers of both the 20th and 21st centuries, I really wanted to love this book, but sadly, I did not.
An Indian professor abandons his wife and young child in London after an unhinged experience leaves him feeling he has become a danger to his family. Landing in New York, he sets out to unravel his fury yet encounters the very characters he himself fears he is becoming.
Cambridge Professor Malik Solanka leaves all behind with the exception of a doll he created called Little Brain that seems to both torment and delight him. I believe the fury stems from a seemingly insignificant reference to a childhood molestation by a step father.
Mila Milo hangs on the stoop near Solanka’s neighborhood and appears as a post punk disgruntled youth. She and Solanka both fascinate one another and have a bizarre relationship. Lost youth anyone?
Jack Rhinehart is a wealthy black friend of Solanka’s and is a womanizer and desperate to extricate himself from his ex Bronislawa, a demanding and selfish woman. Progress of blacks in America?
Jack’s latest flame, Neela Mahendra, is a beautiful Indian woman who quickly becomes Solanka’s lover. She is extremely bright and seemingly representative of an unoppressed Hindi female living in the USA.
Quotes:
When a man without faith mimicked the choices of the faithful, the result was likely to be both vulgar and inept.
Hoping to steer clear of all things controversial, perhaps I’d ask how it was that he came to married five times. Of course, I’d ask about his writing process as well and meet in a very privacte locale.
My rating for Fury is a 7 out of 10.
