Shame
A Novel
Salman Rushdie
"Shame" by Salman Rushdie is a striking exploration of honor and humiliation in an unnamed country that closely resembles Pakistan. The novel immerses readers in a world plagued by violence and a feud between two families: one known for their love of war and the other for their indulgence in pleasure. Rushdie weaves a captivating tale that examines the roots of shame and how this emotion contributes to violence. A timely and thought-provoking read that will leave you spellbound from start to finish.
