Salman / Shalimar The Clown

Those of you who have been following my blog will know that I am fascinated with the writing style of Salman Rushdie. I am really looking forward to reading "Shalimar The Clown" by him. I gather it is a book about Kashmir problem and Islam Extremism. And it has been nominated for the Booker .. his second booker nomination .. Hope it will be an excellent read .. like most of his books I have read before.
PS. Salman's personal life is in no way less fascinating than his writing style too.
