Shalimar, o Equilibrista

Shalimar's actions are driven by deep pain and love, but I wondered if his revenge was justified or destructive. How did others perceive his moral journey?

The novel spans decades and layers individual stories with national upheavals. I'm curious whether Rushdie aimed to reflect India’s complex identity through this structure.

The story moves between different characters and timelines, which kept me guessing about motives and outcomes. Did this approach enhance or hinder the emotional impact for others?
