This collection brings together for the first time and into a coherent whole research on the extensive interplay between the visible and the readable in Rushdie’s fiction from one of the earliest novels – <em>Midnight’s Children</em> (1981) – to his latest –<em> The Enchantress of Florence </em>(2008). </p>
