| adam_text | From Salman Rushdie, one of the great writers of
our time, comes a spellbinding work of fiction that
blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story.
A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has
been plunged into an age of unreason, Two Years Eight
Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a breathtaking’ achieve-
ment and an enduring testament to the power of story-
telling.
In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City,
the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds
that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic nov-
elist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that
resembles his own sub-Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at
the mayor’s office, a haby identifies corruption with her
mere presence, marking՝ the guilty with blemishes and
boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat
forces beyond imagining.
Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the
whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn,
who live in a world separated from ours by a veil. Centuries
ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal
man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing
number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers,
who spread across generations in the human world.
Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand
scale, Dunia’s children and others will play a role in an
epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and
one nights — or two years, eight months, and twenty-eight
nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs
are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease,
and a noise may contain a hidden curse.
Inspired by the traditional Yonder tales” of the East,
Salman Rushdie’s novel is a masterpiece about the age-old
conflicts that remain in today’s world. Two Years Eight
Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is satirical and bawdy,
full of cunning and folly, rivalries and betrayals, kismet
and karma, rapture and redemption. ^
