Publisher Comments:
Malik Solanka, historian of ideas and world-famous dollmaker, steps out of his life one day, abandons his family in London without a word of explanation, and flees for New York. There's a fury within him, and he fears he has become dangerous to those he loves. He arrives in New York at a time of unprecedented plenty, in the highest hour of America's wealth and power, seeking to "erase" himself. But fury is all around him.
Fury is a work of explosive energy, at once a pitiless and pitch-black comedy, a profoundly disturbing inquiry into the darkest side of human nature, and a love story of mesmerizing force. It is also an astonishing portrait of New York. Not since the Bombay of Midnight's Children have a time and place been so intensely and accurately captured in a novel.
Synopsis:
In his eighth novel, Rushdie brilliantly entwines moments of anger and frenzy with those of humor, honesty, and intimacy. Not since the "Bombay of Midnight's Children" have a time and place been so intensely and accurately captured in a novel.

It reflected the way i was feeling when I read the book! It was not the same kind of fury, but it still was fury! and the title made me curious about the content and the content made me curious about the end! It is a simple yet interesting title!
