hello.
i just finished reading Salman Rushdie's first novel Grimus and enjoyed it quite a bit ( contrary to the critics having debunked that book beyond extent). Anyway, i couldn't help drwning parallels to dante's Divine comedy. i'm studying the IB and am reuired to write an Extended Essay. so i was thinking abt doing a comparative study of the two books. In my view, Grimus is in some sense a vilification of divine comedy. it potrays the corruption of of character trough time...from the man talked abt in DAnte's to the man talked abt in rushdie's book.
Will value anybody's feed back. pls get in touch
ciao
