Fury: A Novel

Salman Rushdie


Rushdie pens a wickedly brilliant and pitch-black comedy about a middle-aged professor who finds himself in New York City in the summer of 2000. Horrified by anger lurking within himself, Professor Solanka flees from London to NYC, which he discovers is rolling with anger, where cabdrivers spout invective and a serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete. His own thoughts, emotions, and desires, meanwhile, are also running wild.
