Vergüenza es una tragedia, en palabras del autor, «representada por payasos», por actores que no dan la talla, y ambientada en un país «ligeramente sesgado de la realidad», Peccavistán, donde la vergüenza y la desvergüenza, combinadas en furiosa maldición, se abaten una y otra vez sobre los protagonistas, determinando sus vidas y su muerte. Protagonistas que conforman una insólita galería: Omar Khayyam, hijo de tres madres; Bilquìs, que se queda desnuda en plena calle; el general Hyder, con ojeras como gafas de sol; Iskander Harappa, un dictador a quien ahorcan después de muerto; la virgen Bragas de Hierro; Buenas Noticias Hyder, condenada a parir hijjos cada año en progresión aritmética; y la heroína de la novela: Sufiya Zinobia, la bella y la bestia en una sola persona. The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie’s phantasmagoric epic of an unnamed country that is “not quite Pakistan.” In this dazzling tale of an ongoing duel between the families of two men–one a celebrated wager of war, the other a debauched lover of pleasure–Rushdie brilliantly portrays a world caught between honor and humiliation–“shamelessness, shame: the roots of violence.” Shame is an astonishing story that grows more timely by the day. Key words: post-colonial, novel, India,
". . . a lively, amusing and exasperating work . . . The false starts, loose ends and general extravagance of the tale can become irritating. . . . And yet the book in its own peculiar fashion works." HæderspriserNotable Lists
