The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie

4.25

slow-paced

[8.5/10] Very good. Reading this felt like listening to someone try to describe The Master and Margarita from memory after taking one shot too many. Reminds me SO MUCH of Vonnegut, down to the irreverence and nauseating-at-times obscenity. Masterful exploration of immigration & assimilation & metamorphosis & reincarnation & exile & belonging & so on and so forth.
