A new novel by Salman Rushdie, a British writer of Indian origin, who has been living in the United States for nineteen years, where he is hiding from Islamic radicals who sentenced him to death. Currently, Rushdie is one of the most famous and titled writers in the world, the winner of the unique Booker Booker Prize, awarded for creating the best work in the 40 years of the award's existence. Therefore, the release of the "Golden House", without any doubt, is one of the key events in the literature of recent years.On the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, after the terrible tragedy experienced in India, the family of millionaire Nero Golden arrives in New York. For the next eight years, the entire term of Obama's tenure in power, the despotic, vulgar and crazy Golden will sow lawlessness and barbarism around himself, as well as poison the lives of everyone who will be associated with him.Rushdie's new novel, unlike most of his previous works, can no longer be definitely attributed to magical realism. There is much more realistic here than magical. The writer himself says that, depicting the modern social situation in all its details, he was inspired by the works of Charles Dickens."The Golden House" is at the same time a family saga with a huge number of everyday details and psychological sketches, and a social pamphlet telling about the eight–year movement of American society from hope to disappointment, confusion and the collapse of ideals, and philosophical reflection on the unshakable and frightening laws of human existence. But the main thing is a huge number of fascinating, deep and topical stories that the writer, as always, tells with extraordinary skill.
