First sentence: Both the writers I have chosen to discuss in this essay have been subjected over some time to international publicity of an interestingly ambiguous kind: it has been suggested that Rushdie "attacks" India through her ruling class in Midnight's Children, doing a similar hatchet-job on Pakistan in Shame, and on Islam in The Satanic Verses, and that these so-called attacks have been very good for his sales.
