Riassunto

Malik Solanka, historian of ideas and dollmaker extraordinaire, walks out on his life one day, abandoning his family without a word of explanation, and flees London for New York. There’s a fury within him, and he fears he has become dangerous to those he loves. He arrives in New York at a time of unprecedented plenty, in the highest hour of America’s wealth and power, seeking to “erase” himself. Eat me, America, he prays, and give me peace.
A work of explosive energy, at once a pitiless and pitch-black comedy and a love story of mesmerizing force, Fury is a profoundly disturbing chronicle of the human condition.

Recensione

“Salman Rushdie is...a great novelist operating as a master of metamorphosis -- transforming life, art and language in the subterranean maze of his imagination.” -- Don DeLillo

“Manic, absurdist, biting, over-the-top and very funny.... [Fury] dares to go off the deep end.” -- The Vancouver Sun

“Not since the endearingly misanthropic Ignatius Reilly of John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces has outrage been rendered so hilariously; nor since Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities has urban paranoia been portrayed in such rich detail.... a real page-turner.” -- Book Magazine

“Fury is a bitter howl of rage and an epic, surprising love letter.” -- The Guardian
