In Salman Rushdie's novel 'The Golden House,' Nero Golden will remind readers of a certain New Yorker now in the White House. A star book review. When the aristocratic Golden family moves into a self contained pocket of New York City, a park in Greenwich Village called The Gardens, their past is an absolute mystery.
Golden City became the capital of the federally recognized Colorado Territory in , and the territorial legislature met from to in the building that is now home to the Old Capitol Grill restaurant. By the end of the s, Golden City had been elected the seat of Jefferson County and the capital of the provisional Jefferson Territory. In The Golden House, Rushdie's target is an entire country of over million people, and specifically the bizarre moment of history in which we find ourselves. The events of the novel are firmly rooted in the last decade, with stories like the housing market collapse, the shooting deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police officers.
Meanwhile, like a bad joke, a certain comic-book villain embarks upon a crass presidential run that turns New York upside-down. Set against the strange and exuberant backdrop of current American culture and politics, The Golden House also marks Salman Rushdie’s triumphant and exciting return to realism. The result is a modern epic of love and /5(48).
