The website, All American Patriots has some detail about Salman Rushdie’s new book to be launched early in June:
On June 3, 2008, Random House will publish Salman Rushdie’s new novel, The Enchantress of Florence, a dazzling historical novel set in Renaissance Florence and the court of the great Mughal Empire.
“This new novel marks a bold departure for Salman Rushdie in terms of setting and subject matter,” comments Will Murphy, Rushdie’s editor at Random House. “It is an amazing display of his gifts as a storyteller and will undoubtedly draw many new readers to his already wide audience.”

Great. Let me know what you think, I frequently find Rushdie really hard to read!
