  • Patrie immaginarie (Imaginary Homelands) è una raccolta di scritti non narrativi originariamente pubblicati sulla stampa periodica, dello scrittore indiano Salman Rushdie. I testi variano dalle considerazioni politiche su Indira Gandhi (toccante il saggio sul suo assassinio, nonostante la totale disapprovazione per la sua politica) a Mrs Thatcher, al cinema di Satyajit Ray, di Attenborough, a saggi su vari scrittori, tra cui Calvino, Nadine Gordimer, Günther Grass, Saul Bellow. Di grandi interesse sono anche gli scritti dedicati ai romanzi di Rushdie e alla propria vita durante la fatwa. Sebbene Rushdie non abbia ancora pubblicato il diario che ha tenuto durante questi anni terribili, si può trovare una toccante testimonianza di quei giorni nel saggio che chiude Patrie immaginarie.

  • Imaginary Homelands is a collection of essays and criticism by Salman Rushdie. The collection is composed of essays written between 1981 and 1992, including pieces of political criticism – e.g. on the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the Conservative 1983 General Election victory, censorship, the Labour Party, and Palestinian identity – as well as literary criticism – e.g. on V. S. Naipaul, Graham Greene, Julian Barnes, and Kazuo Ishiguro among others. The title essay – "Imaginary Homelands" – was originally published in the London Review of Books on 7 October 1982. Comparing his work Midnight's Children to other works that draw on diaspora as a central theme, Rushdie argues that the migrant – whether from one country to another, from one language or culture to another or even from a traditional rural society to a modern metropolis – "is, perhaps, the central or defining figure of the twentieth century."
