Fury by Salman Rushdie

There are many things in the world to be angry about and Salman Rushdie creates a diatribe against them in his novel, Fury (2001). Malik Solanka wanders the streets of New York meditating upon the ills of American consumerist society. He is a man haunted by the Eumenides and has blackouts wherein he doesn't remember where his fury may have taken him. The creator of the immensely popular "Little Brain" doll and franchise, Solanka's creation is out of his control and has taken on a life of her own. Bitter about his loss of creative control, Solanka is also intimately disturbed by his personal life. He has walked out on his wife and toddler son, without a word of explanation and moved from India to New York. He haunts the streets. Looking for answers? Walking off his anger? His answer comes in the form of two women who, in their individual ways, help him to come to grip with the demons that haunt him. ( I think the Neela Mahendra character should be played by Aishwarya Rai...)
