Els llenguatges de la veritat

The Languages of Truth collects Salman Rushdie's essays and articles from the last twenty years: extraordinary pieces in which his fabulous prose, critical insight, erudition, and incorruptible irony and sense of humor shine. Through a wide variety of topics, he explores the narrative fact as a human need, and ultimately writes, well camouflaged, a love letter to literature itself. Rushdie explains what the work of authors ranging from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Samuel Beckett, Eudora Welty and Toni Morrison means to him. He delves into the nature of truth, revels in the vibrant malleability of language and the creative lines that can unite art and life, and reflects on migration and multiculturalism, freedom of expression and censorship. In a period of momentous cultural change, The Languages of Truth is the necessary work of Rushdie at his most lucid, an original and engaged thinker who dazzles both in his analysis of culture and literature and when he takes us to the terrain of his exuberant imagination
