RE: The Ground Beneath Her Feet (was: I like books too)

[Brad Caviness <bigwigenterprises at yahoo_com>]

All my life I worshiped her, her golden voice, her beauty's heat, How she made us feel, how she made me real. And the ground beneath her feet.

 

I read that one last year. Such a lovely book that is. So poignant the friction between history and myth, celebrity and veneration, love and lust, being and perception, the promethean desire for creation, and the terrible consequences for stealing from the gods. Rushdie's characters are so vividly real, I feel I know every VTO song by heart, though none actually exist. It's the book that made Rushdie my (current) favorite author.
