“We crave permission openly to become our secret selves": Signed Limited First Edition Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh
Signed limited first edition of this work which TIME Magazine named book of the year, one of only 200 copies. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly inscribed by Salman Rushdie on the title page, this is number 14 of 200 copies. Fine in a fine slipcase.
Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie combines a ferociously witty family saga with a surreally imagined and sometimes blasphemous chronicle of modern India and flavors the mixture with peppery soliloquies on art, ethnicity, religious fanaticism, and the terrifying power of love. Moraes "Moor" Zogoiby, the last surviving scion of a dynasty of Cochinese spice merchants and crime lords, is also a compulsive storyteller and an exile. As he travels a route that takes him from India to Spain, he leaves behind a tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerized offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave.
