What is The Moor's Last Sigh : Costa Novel Award about?

Salman Rushdie asks what we do when the world’s walls - its family structures, its value systems, its political forms - start to crumble. "India has produced a great novelist... a master of perpetual storytelling." - V.S. Pritchett, The New Yorker‘Moor’ Zogoiby finds himself in such a moment of crisis. Moor first falls in love with a married woman. When their secret is revealed, both are expelled. A suicide pact is proposed, but only the woman dies. In response, Moor plunges into a life of depravity in Bombay, and then becomes embroiled in a major financial scandal. The novel ends in Spain, in a violent climax. Moor has, once again, to decide whether to save the life of his lover by sacrificing his own."Rushdie, the author of nine previous books — including The Satanic Verses, which prompted Ayatollah Khomeini to issue his death sentence in 1989 — alludes often to his own exile, the story of modern India and the dangers of art. At first the hyperbole, didactic asides, verbal puns, lyrical and lewd jokes, and slapstick routines seem a bit much, but if you stick with it, cumulative magic takes hold. Rushdie’s satiric, hysterically funny, political family tragedy is a masterpiece.”
