Negative Positive
Title: Exuberant prose
Review: Rushdie, like Nabokov and Joyce, musters an acute sense of the sound of words. While character development tends to fall prey to thematic exposition, the joy of listening to his words spill out from the page (one can't read "The Moor's Last Sigh" without hearing it) propels the story to its breathless conclusion.
