A record of one writer's intellectual and personal odyssey. The 75 essays collected here, written over the last ten years, cover a range of subjects - the literature of the received masters and of Rushdie's contemporaries; the politics of colonialism and the ironies of culture; film, politicians, the Labour Party, religious fundamentalism in America, racial prejudice; and the preciousness of the imagination and of free expression.

'These 70 essays on places and politics, films and assassinations cover a mere decade, but seem to concentrate more intelligence and intellectual courage than most writers summon up in a lifetime' The Times
Drawing from two political and several literary homelands, this collection of essays, demonstrates the full force of Salman Rushdie's remarkable imaginative and observational powers. His topics include the politics of India and Pakistan, censorship, the Labour Party, Palestinian identity, and literature - with fresh insights into V.S. Naipaul, Graham Greene, Julian Barnes, John le Carré and Philip Roth among others.
Profound, passionate and insightful, Imaginary Homelands is a masterful collection of essays from one of the greatest writers working today.
