This book examines how Rushdie criticizes and deconstructs the traditional notions and absolutes of the East and West and how he takes apart these artificial entities. Rushdie ironically criticizes the absolutist notions and weak sides of the Eastern and Western systems. And by this critique and deconstruction of traditional images he makes clear that within the global village these two parts of the world are interrelated and cannot be considered as opposing entities. Thus the comma between ¿East¿ and ¿West¿ forms a bridge as well as making a gap. Rushdie goes beyond the common debates about whether there is a divide of the world into East and West or not.
