Salman Rushdie's 'The Satanic Verses'
One winter's morning two men fall from an airliner high above the Sussex coast. So begins the first novel for five years from the Booker Prize-winning author of Midnight's Children and Shame. During their miraculous escape, they acquire alarming characteristics; a set of devil's horns for one, an angel's halo for the other. Salman Rushdie reads from his work, and talks about religion and childhood, politics and writing.
