Reviews"A romance of beauty and power from Italy to India . . . so delightful an homage to Renaissance magic and wonder." Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World "This is 'history' jubilantly mixed with postmodernist magic realism." Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books "A baroque whirlwind of a narrative . . . [Rushdie helps] us escape from the present into a dreamlike past that ultimately makes us more aware of the dangers and illusions of our everyday lives." Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune "Brilliant . . . Rushdie's sumptuous mixture of history and fable is magnificent." Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian (London) "For Rushdie, as for the artists he writes about, the pen is a magician's wand. . . . One of his best [novels]." John Sutherland, Financial Times "[A] prodigious fever dream of a book." Lisa Shea, Elle "Beyond its magical razzle-dazzle lays a work of steely contemporary resonance, rich in slyly metafictional allusions."
