Salman Rushdie - The Ground Beneath Her Feet - Signed First US Edition

A first edition, first printing of The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie, published by Henry Holt and Company, New York in 1999. A near fine copy, signed by the author on the half-title page, free from internal inscriptions or marks, with clean, bright pages and a firm binding. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper, showing only light handling wear, with colours strong and no tears or loss.

The Ground Beneath Her Feet is Rushdie’s seventh novel, a bold reworking of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set against the global music scene of the late twentieth century. Blending mythology, popular culture, and alternate histories, the novel is widely regarded as one of his most ambitious later works. This signed U.S. first edition forms part of the core run of signed modern Rushdie first editions, distinct from the U.K. Jonathan Cape issue.
