A Financial Times writer says that Salman Rushdie's novel is good, so good in fact, that he may have to try it with curry.
Quoted: For Rushdie, as for the artists he writes about, the pen is a magician’s wand. There is more magic than realism in this latest novel. But it is, I think, one of his best. If The Enchantress of Florence doesn’t win this year’s Man Booker I’ll curry my proof copy and eat it.
