writegeist 's review for:
Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights
by Salman Rushdie
Rushdie's fantasy is a thinly veiled treatise against the trends that currently are turning our world into global conflict: religion against religion, men against women, man against the earth, God and reason. It is also filled with the power of love and how myth has created a way of understanding what it means to be human. The story is told by an unknown future historian looking back at the War of the Worlds that occurred a thousand years before. Facts and conjecture are put forth to describe the conflict between the jinn of the Fairyworld and our own world as the wall between these two worlds is sundered. Rushdie's writing is poetic and powerful. I highly recommend it.
