Clark shows how Rushdie employs cosmology, mythology, and mysticism to structure otherworldly dramas that are fascinating in their own right, as well as crucial to the more worldly points Rushdie makes about literary tradition, history, ethnicity, and the politics of religion UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/orpp/detail.action?docID=3330505 ER -
