"Life is fury. Fury-sexual, Oedipal, political, magical, brutal- drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. This is what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise-the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self-destructive, untrammeled lord of creation. We raise each other to the heights of joy. We tear each other limb from bloody limb." Malik Solanka, historian of ideas and dollmaker extraordinaire, steps out of his life one day, abandons his family without a word of explanation, and flees London for New York. There's a fury within him, and he fears he has become dangerous to those he loves. He arrives in New York at a time of unprecedented plenty, in the highest hour of America's wealth and power, seeking to "erase" himself. Eat me, America, he prays, and give me peace. But fury is all around him. Cabdrivers spout invective. A serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete. The petty spats and bone-deep resentments of the ...

"From one of the world's truly great writers, Fury is a wickedly brilliant and pitch-black comedy about a middle-aged professor who finds himself in New York City in the summer of 2000. Not since the Bombay of Midnight's Children have a time and place been so intensely and accurately captured in a novel. Fury opens on a New York living at breakneck speed in an age of unprecedented decadence. Malik Solanka, historian of ideas and dollmaker extraordinaire, steps out of his life one day, abandons his family without a word of explanation, and flees to New York. There is a fury within him, and he fears that he has become dangerous to those he loves. He arrives in New York at a time of unprecedented plenty, in the highest hour of America's wealth and power, seeking to "erase" himself. But fury is all around him. Cab drivers spout invective. A serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete. The petty spats and bone-deep resentments of the metropolis engulf him. Meanwhile, his own thoughts, emotions and desires are also running wild. A young woman in a D'Angelo baseball cap is in store. Also another woman, with whom he will fall in love and drawn towards a different fury, whose roots lie of the far side of the world."
""Malik Sodanka, historien des idées et facteur de poupées, abandonne soudain toute sa famille, comme saisi de fureur. Il s'enfuit vers New York où il cherche à se "fondre". Mais la fureur est partout..."
"Malik Solanka left his wife and son in England and fled to New York where he met beautiful Neela. Tormented by guilt and estranged from the modern world by his "furies," Malik begins a personal quest to overcome his anger."
"Fury is the story of a dollmaker whose dolls run wild, of living women turned into dolls and then broken, and of a revolt on the planet's far side led by an army of living dolls. Fury is a novel of an old, deep love gone wrong, of a second, twisted passion rooted in wrongness, and of a third, passionate love that just might turn out right."@en

"Malik Solanka ist Professor für Ideengeschichte in Cambridge und leidenschaftlicher Puppenmacher. Als eines seiner Geschöpfe unerwartet zu einem fulminanten TV-Erfolg wird, verlässt Malik von einem Tag auf den anderen seine Familie in England und macht sich, getrieben von einer inneren Unruhe, auf den Weg nach New York. Doch auch hier kommt er nicht zur Ruhe, wird immer häufiger von unerklärlichen Wutausbrüchen heimgesucht und droht allmählich in einem Strudel seiner Gefühle, Gedanken und Gelüste unterzugehen. Salman Rushdie, 1947 in Bombay geboren, studierte in Cambridge Geschichte. Mit seinem Roman "Mitternachtskinder" wurde er weltberühmt. Seine Bücher erhielten renommierte internationale Auszeichnungen, u.a. den Booker Prize, und sind in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. 1996 wurde ihm der Aristeion-Literaturpreis der EU für sein Gesamtwerk zuerkannt. 2008 schlug ihn die Queen zum Ritter."
