This collection of wide-ranging essays applyies the (in)fusion approach --an approach to literature that rejects stagnant limitations in favor of conflicting, innovative, eclectic and subtle
ideas--to Salman Rushdie’s fiction. Challenging conventional institutionalized evaluation and interpretation, each of the selected essays presents an innovative viewpoint related to a range of
concepts pulled from science, sociology, psychology, and literature to invigorate and cross-pollinate literary criticism theory with interdisciplinary studies. Ghosh (English, U. of North
Bengal, India) brings together a well chosen and diverse set of essays presenting exciting new avenues of theory. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
