Identity and Truth in Salman Rushdie

Abstract

The paper analyzes the signs of the age of the spirit in the work The Satanic Verses, by Salman Rushdie, with a particular emphasis on the membranes of identity, the truth and the spiritual experiences through which the characters of this work are led. From the perspective of the multiple layers of meanings, in other words, from the perspective of the membranes of understanding, the world in Rushdie's sense is a set of dream membranes and reality membranes, of membranes of good and membranes of evil, which intertwine, sometimes it moves in harmony, sometimes in dissonance, but in which there is always room for love.
