After a stint in advertising, he started writing fiction. The first book was a ScienceFiction novel called ''Grimus''. His second book was the BreakthroughHit ''Literature/MidnightsChildren''. After that, he published a little-known novel called ''Shame'' and ''The Jaguar Smile'', a non-fiction memoir of his time in Nicaragua. In 1988, he published ''Literature/TheSatanicVerses'', which resulted in massive protests in several countries and the book being [[BannedInChina banned in India]] (despite being a secular democracy with a Hindu majority). Things got worse in 1989, when Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie's murder, at which point Iran-backed hitmen and assassins started attacking people close to the book, culminating in the 1991 killing of the Japanese translator and stabbing of the Norwegian publisher. Rushdie had to go underground and live under an assumed name for nearly fifteen years of his life. The fatwa is still in effect to this day, with Iran's official explanation being that only the person who issued a fatwa can rescind it-- and Khomeini had died just three months after his declaration.

As a writer, Rushdie's books are highly inspired by Creator/ThomasPynchon, Creator/JamesJoyce, Creator/LuisBunuel and fall in the vein of {{Deconstruction}} and {{Postmodernism}}. They are filled with numerous characters, KudzuPlot, MindScrew and MagicalRealism. They are strongly satirical, are filled with {{Pastiche}}, and feature loads of puns and InterplayOfSexAndViolence.
On August 12, 2022, Rushdie was stabbed multiple times while preparing to deliver a speech in Chautauqua, New York. Rushdie survived the attack, but suffered injuries to his neck, liver and arm, and faces the prospect of losing one of his eyes, and had to temporarily be placed on a ventilator. The assailant was subsequently taken into custody and per police reports, was known to have expressed support for the government of Iran.

* SignatureStyle: No one writes quite like Rushdie. Frequent themes include India and the Indian diaspora, modernity and its discontents, Kashmir, pop culture, the interplay between generations and the nature of reality. KudzuPlots are common, including jumping back and forth through time, and he's very comfortable with MagicalRealism -- totally fantastical elements sit comfortably next to gritty, realistic elements.
