The book is fiction and magic-realism at that. The intention of the book was most certainly not meant to antagonize. It is also most certainly not why he's celebrated.
- booleandilemma 4y agoThe intention of the book was most certainly not meant to antagonize I kinda disagree with this. There are certain parts of the book that I don't think could be interpreted any way other than antagonization. Reading the book, I felt like he even went out of his way to antagonize muslims. There were parts when I had to ask myself, "Is xyz really essential to the plot?" I'm not muslim, fwiw. And this goes without saying, but no one should be persecuted for what they write.
