Personification of the Moors, in their collective role as a medieval political force
The Moor's Last Sigh is the fifth novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1995.
•
Set in the Indian cities of Bombay and Cochin, it is the first major work that Rushdie produced after the The Satanic Verses affair, and thus is referential to that circumstance in many ways, especially the isolation of the narrator, as well as the shadow of death that seems constantly to hang over him.
