Venturing to chart out the territory traversed, discovered, and marked by a prolific writer like Salman Rushdie ... calls for a project characterised by the rigour and precision of a cartographic mission. Mapping out the Rushdie Republic: Some Recent Surveys, edited by Tapan Kumar Ghosh and Prasanta Bhattacharyya, takes on this exciting and undeniably arduous task which certainly caters to both scholars who are well-versed in Rushdie and beginners who await their initiation. [...] Surveying the realm of Rushdie's creation - from both micro and macro vantage points - this study effectively locates itself embedded within the current tectonic shifts that perturb the national (Indian) as well as the global scenario amounting to a world marked by terrorism, intolerance, xenophobia, refugee crises, curbed free speech, and fundamentalist threats to true democracy. Recalibrating the contours of studies on Rushdie, Mapping out the Rushdie Republic: Some Recent Surveys re-examines and reassesses the terrain with an engagement with preceding volumes as well as setting the ground for unchartered trajectories of further study.
