Two Years Eight Months and Twenty Eight Nights

In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangeness begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity
that resembles his own sub-Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor’s office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold-digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining. Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as jinns, who live in a world separated from ours by a veil.

Inspired by traditional folklore, Salman Rushdie’s novel is a masterpiece about the age-old conflicts that remain in today’s world. Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-eight Nights is satirical and bawdy, full of cunning and
folly, rivalries and betrayals, kismet and karma, rapture and redemption.
