A review by bradblackman
The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie

5.0

Simply amazing. Perhaps Rushdie's best. If Elvis had been from India and gotten his start in the 1970s... Combine Indian culture and American rock and roll and add a dash of a collision of parallel universes, you get this epic where the narrator is the main character's best friend (a la On the Road). And don't forget the Muse who fuels it all, who dies at the beginning, and the rest tells the backstory and what happens later.
