How Newness Enters the World, Discussing Rushdie's The Satanic Verses: Incorporating an Original Piece of Fiction.

Abstract

This thesis aims at discussing a number of Rushdie's devices in The Satanic Verses to reach an understanding of his fiction, in particular the construction of a form that allows the "miraculous and the mundane to co-exist at the same level, as the same order or event" (Rushdie, 1991). It incorporates an original piece of fiction and analysis.
