Gordimer, Nadine: "Abudant in enchanting narratives and amazingly peopled, 'The Satanic Verses' is both a philosophy and an Arabian nights entertainment. What wit, what real warmth in Rushdies's thousand-eyed perceptions of the inferno within us and the vainglory of our aspirations! His ambitions are huge, and his creativity triumphantly matches them."
