Description
A sweeping, darkly comic novel of reinvention, this story follows an immigrant family as they navigate shifting American politics and culture—where identity is never fixed, only remade. At the center is a patriarch who treats transformation as both strategy and destiny, pushing his sons toward new selves even as the “Golden House” begins to fracture under the pressure of desire, money, and competing visions of the past. As relationships and loyalties evolve, the book explores how power reshapes bodies, histories, and ambitions, asking what it costs to become “American” and whether metamorphosis can ever be fully chosen. With Salman Rushdie’s signature exuberant, myth-tinged style and sharp satirical edge, the novel turns the age-old question of reinvention into a high-voltage portrait of transition, class, and the seductive darkness of reinvention.
