Its publication in Britain in 1988 triggered an unprecedented international controversy, now widely referred to as the “Rushdie Affair”. This placed the novel at the centre of global debates on freedom of expression, censorship, and religious tolerance. Despite the turmoil surrounding its release, the book was immediately recognised for its literary ambition and originality, with contemporary critics praising its inventive structure, satirical force, and deep engagement with literary tradition.
