Secondary Texts ; q62 This website provides an on-line study guide to Salman Rushdie's controversial novel, The Satanic Verses.The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie's fourth novel. It was first published in 1988 and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad. The title refers to the Satanic Verses, an attempted interpolation in the Qur'an described by Ibn Ishaq in his biography of Muhammad ( which is the oldest surviving text). The novel caused much controversy upon publication in 1988 since many Muslims considered it to contain blasphemous references. The website attempts to explain Rushdie's many allusions and to provide a "thorough explication" of the novel. The site provides a summary of the novel, several essays on the book and links to further resources on the web.
