BIBLIOGRAPHY
191
Why should one attempt to write anything more on Salman Rushdie, one of
the most controversial writers of post-colonial and postmodern literatures in
English? Is it possible to say anything new about an author whose works
have been discussed very thoroughly? This study does so by revealing the
fairytaleness of Rushdie s fiction: it shows how Western fairytales contribute
to a map Rushdie has been charting in order to navigate across multiple
religious, political, economic and cultural territories. This element of Rushdie s
literary output has not been frequently discussed and it both completes the
existing analyses and opens avenues for further research. The study involves
diverse methodologies relevant both to the contemporary complexity of the
fairytale and the multiple stratums of fairytaleness in Rushdie s work and
consists of two carefully argued parts. Part one deals with the postmodern
aspect of the fairytale-poetics of Rushdie s fiction. Part two focuses on the
post-colonial themes expressed by Rushdie through fairytales. Such a syn¬
thesis of fairytale elements in Rushdie s works results in a systematic typology
and alternative critical reflection on his
œuvre
in counterpoint to purely post-
colonial or postmodern readings. The monograph is completed with the the-
maticalfy ordered and detailed bibliography.
Justyna Deszcz
teaches at the Institute of English Studies, at the University of
Wroclaw. She completed her PhD on fairytaleness in Salman Rushdie s fiction
in
2003.
Her research interests include post-colonialism, postmodernism,
children s literature, folk and fairytales and their contemporary cultural status.
She has published on Rushdie, Angela Carter,
Jan Potocki,
and
Henryk
Sienkiewicz.
