Krátky popis
A collection of the finest essays by the 'Best of the Booker'
winner, following on from his much-acclaimed STEP ACROSS THIS
LINELanguages of Truth offers Salman Rushdie's most piercingly
analytical views yet on the evolution of literature and culture
even as he takes us deep into his own exuberant and fearless
imaginationSalman Rushdie is celebrated as a storyteller of the
highest order, illuminating deep truths about our society and
culture through his gorgeous, often searing, prose. Now, in his
latest collection of nonfiction, he brings together insightful and
inspiring essays, criticism, and speeches that focus on his
relationship with the written word, and solidify his place as one
of the most original thinkers of our time.Gathering pieces written
between 2003 and 2020, Languages of Truth chronicles Rushdie's own
intellectual engagement with a period of momentous cultural shifts.
Immersing the reader in a wide variety of subjects, he delves into
the nature of storytelling as a deeply human need, and what emerges
is, in myriad ways, a love letter to literature itself. Rushdie
explores what the work of authors from Shakespeare and Cervantes to
Samuel Beckett, Eudora Welty, and Toni Morrison mean to him, often
by telling vivid, sometimes humorous stories of his own personal
encounters with them, whether on the page or in person. He delves
deeper than ever before into the nature of ",truth,", revels in the
vibrant malleability of language, and the creative lines that can
join art and life, and he looks anew at migration, multiculturalism
and censorship. The ideas, true stories, and arguments presented
here are at once revelatory, funny, and eye-opening, enlivened on
every page by Rushdie's signature wit and dazzling voice, making
this volume a genuine pleasure to read.
