anna –Rushdie- 2/16
There is a lot of life in this book, an exhausting amount, rainbow colors etc..Rushdie seems to know exactly what the reader is thinking and manipulates us (though in a different way from the way Naipaul manipulated us) to believe certain things, to hope for the cause and effect of certain bait traps..and then with us in the palm of his hand he gives the bait away to the air and gives a different answer all together. NOW he has done this multiple times, I am beginning at page 133 to get it. Padma may too. So his parents are not his birth parents, he may not actually have two heads, but what other traps will be laid. How will Musa end the world on accident? (Does musa mean mouse btw?) Who will this other little "something of a shiva" boy be? WellI should hope not what I could expect.
