When Angels and Devils Fall to Earth
What happens when two men survive a fall from 29,000 feet? In Salman Rushdie's masterpiece, this impossible event triggers a cascade of even more impossible transformations. Gibreel Farishta and Saladin Chamcha plummet from an exploding airplane above the English Channel, singing and tumbling through the sky. Their survival isn't just miraculous - it's metamorphic. Gibreel, a famous Indian film star who specialized in playing deities, develops a luminous halo. Saladin, who spent his life erasing his Indian identity to become perfectly English, sprouts horns and hooves, becoming literally demonized in his adopted homeland. Their fall is both physical and metaphysical - a rebirth that forces questions about identity, faith, and belonging that echo throughout our increasingly globalized world. When we migrate between cultures, what parts of ourselves survive the journey? When faith collides with doubt, what emerges from the wreckage? These questions form the beating heart of a novel that's as much about the modern immigrant experience as it is about the ancient foundations of belief.
