Dal vincitore del premio "Best of the Booker" Salman Rushdie, una raccolta incisiva e stimolante di saggi, critiche e discorsi non-fiction che porta i lettori in un viaggio emozionante attraverso l'evoluzione del linguaggio e della cultura. "Uno dei più grandi scrittori della nostra epoca" Neil Gaiman Attraverso un'ampia varietà di argomenti, Rushdie approfondisce la natura della narrazione come un bisogno profondamente umano e ciò che emerge è una lettera d'amore alla letteratura stessa. In tutto, condivide i suoi incontri personali, sulla pagina e di persona, con narratori da Shakespeare a Toni Morrison e si diletta nelle linee creative che possono unire arte e vita. Rushdie considera anche la natura della verità e guarda con occhi nuovi alla migrazione, al multiculturalismo e alla censura. "Lettura essenziale... Potente" Financial Times "Rushdie è vitale, espansivo, il critico come narratore, che difende i suoi soggetti con entusiasmo" TLS

Salman Rushdie is the author of fourteen previous novels, including Midnight's Children (for which he won the Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker), The Satanic Verses, and Quichotte (which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize). A former president of PEN American Center, Rushdie was knighted in 2007 for services to literature and was made a Companion of Honour in the Queen's last Birthday Honours list in 2022.
Gathering pieces written between 2003 and 2020, including several never previously in print, Languages of Truth chronicles a period of momentous cultural shifts. Across a wide variety of subjects, Rushdie delves into the nature of storytelling as a deeply human need, and what emerges is a love letter to literature itself. Throughout, Rushdie shares his personal encounters, on the page and in person, with storytellers from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Samuel Beckett, Eudora Welty, and Toni Morrison, and revels in the creative lines that can join art and life.
Always attuned to the malleability of language, Rushdie considers the nature of truth, and looks anew at migration, multiculturalism and censorship. Written with the author's signature wit and energy, Languages of Truth offers pleasure and insight in equal measure, confirming Rushdie's place as one of the most original and important thinkers of our time.
