The Golden House: Salman Rushdie's 2017 Novel

[Ailedhoo]

Salman Rushdie is to publish his next work, the Golden House, this coming September.

From the Guardian article:

According to publisher Jonathan Cape, The Golden House, Rushdie’s 13th novel, follows “a young American filmmaker whose involvement with a secretive, tragedy-haunted family teaches him how to become a man”. Starting with the inauguration of Barack Obama in 2008, the book will include current and recent political and social events, including the rise of the ultra-conservative Tea Party; the Gamergate scandal, which saw the widespread online harassment of female gaming journalists framed as a debate about media ethics; the debate over identity politics; and, perhaps most urgently, “the insurgence of a ruthlessly ambitious, narcissistic, media-savvy villain sporting makeup and coloured hair”.

Self-note: I have a signed copy of Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights via when Salman Rushdie visited Bristol in the autumn of 2015.

Anyhow: I am looking forward to get this!
