Pressestimmen
"Shame is and is not about Pakistan, that invented, imaginary country... The theme is shame and shamelessness, born from the violence which is modern history. Revelation and obscurity, affairs of honour, blushings of all parts, the recession of erotic life, the open violence of public life, create the extraordinary Rushdie mood." -- Malcolm Bradbury, "The Guardian"
"A pitch black comedy of public life and historical imperatives." -- "The Times"

Format:Taschenbuch
I have to say that I found this book much more comprehensible than The Satanic Verses. It's basically about Pakistan with all of its contradictions, faults and absurdity. It's eitehr a love letter or a hate letter to his home country and it's a history told in the magical realism style where every major political movement is started by a private incident and evey private exchange is fraught with dangers. He also calls Bhutto Virgin Ironpants - which I'm sure would have annoyed many feminists as much as the Ayatollah passages in The Satanic Verses annoyed the entire country of Iran. (oh, I'm sorry the official stance is that it was the Muhammed passages)
But for all its brilliance and nuance what I and my friends remember is the debate among the rebels over whether to have sex with teh docile sheep or the wild goats. Not even the people fighting the hostile regime are safe from scorn and ridicule.
The central metaphor is in two characters - one a man without shame and the other a woman who is embarrassed and overtly modest from birth. When she loses her modesty, she becomes a vicious animal destroying all in her path. I think that is the theme in that the country might be run by the shameless and the crass, but when the silent ones are pushed too far - watch out.
Even as a minor book this proves Rushdie's clarity of vision and his place as one of the greatest writers of teh 20th century.

Format:Taschenbuch
Salman Rushdie wrote an intriguing novel when he wrote shame. There are several plays on the definition and the combinations of shame in this novel. Through his humourous personal commentary, glimpses of a larger political agenda can be seen coated with sarcasm. Overall, the book was not bad, although a little unclear at times. The reader should have background knowledge of the situation in Pakistan to help see the the comparisons of the characters to influentual people.
Format:Taschenbuch
Rushdie's SHAME is absolutely brilliant. Like in Midnight's Children, he twists, reads, and writes the history of a nation as if it were a toy. Yet, somehow, his writing takes on the quality of an ancient myth - something that has always been happening and that we have only just discovered. At the center of this novel is a girl who, like Morrison's Beloved, is the embodiment/incarnation of an emotion: Shame.

still a good read... but disappointing
Everything's relative, but compared to _Midnight's Children_ and _Satanic Verses_ Rushdie's novel about Pakistan left me a bit dubious of my distinction of him as an unwavering... Lesen Sie weiter...

Salman Rushdie's funniest most lucid book.

Beautifully disturbing
Shame is, in my opinion, the finest novel Rushdie has written yet. It's much darker thanany of his other work, disturbingly so, and the violence is of a kind not found in his... Lesen Sie weiter...
