• Resumen

  • Grimus (1975) is Salman Rushdie's first published novel. A very clever book, it combines myth and allegory, unreality and satire, delicacy and naturalism, logic and nonsense... Inscribed as Utopian science-fiction, it can be considered a ludicrous and witty mental game, whose language is a fireworks of puns, anagrams, acrostics, parodies and ambiguity. All these elements are analysed in detail, together with some other formal devices and the mental processes of its recreation.
