Salman Rushdie’s shorter fiction is collected here in three entries published over a thirty-six-year span. The Prophet’s Hair appeared in 1981, early in Rushdie’s career, while The Firebird’s Nest was published in The New Yorker in June 1997. The most recent, Home, came out in 2017.
These are standalone pieces that can be read in any order. Readers who know Rushdie primarily through his novels will find a different side of his writing in these shorter works, each of which was published independently rather than as part of a larger collection.
