This month on the book club we turn into the controversy and take a look at Salmon Rushdie’s infamous novel The Satanic Verses, selected by Patron DarkGlass and voted on by you guys!
Here’s the summary:
Just before dawn one winter’s morning, a hijacked jetliner explodes above the English Channel. Through the falling debris, two figures, Gibreel Farishta, the biggest star in India, and Saladin Chamcha, an expatriate returning from his first visit to Bombay in fifteen years, plummet from the sky, washing up on the snow-covered sands of an English beach, and proceed through a series of metamorphoses, dreams, and revelations.
The live-streamed discussion of The Satanic Verses will happen on Friday, July 27th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. Get the book and get reading! If you’re going to purchase a physical copy through Amazon, we would appreciate it if you do so through our Amazon Affiliate link. The book will cost exactly the same to you, but it will help support Daly Planet Productions!
We’re always open for more Book Club suggestions as well, so if you have a book you’d like us to cover, head on over to our handy Google Form and tell us what you want us to read. Fill it out once, twice or however often you want.
Can’t wait to talk to you all in a few weeks!
