Abstract

Sir Salman Rushdie is the author of twelve novels, a collection of short stories, four works of non-fiction etc., of which Grimus was his literary debut in 1975 and was written specially for the Victor Gollancz Prize for Science Fiction. It is a fantasy and a science fiction. Rushdie makes the readers enter into a world designed by him with the element of fantasy. Grimus is an attempt by Rushdie to create a work of fiction like that of Arabian Nights, using the mysticism of the Sufis, to make his novel a ‘stimulating and imaginative one’, full of strangely echoing mysteries.
