![]() ![]() Not just irritated or cranky, but filled with fury, and not just his own fury, but the everyman fury that characterises his age. His anger is also part of the broader anger of the world – the human condition, which prefigures recent terrorist attacks, and hints at the kind of anger which makes anything possible. At 55, the Indian born, NY dwelling protagonist of Rushdie’s latest novel Fury, has the kind of rage which causes him to stand with a knife over the sleeping bodies of his wife and son, scream in public, and slip between the red heat of anger to blackouts which leave him questioning his sanity and public safety. ![]() ![]() ![]() She married Stephen Hamilton in 1991, becoming Emma Walton Hamilton.

In my childhood, as early as that, I remember observing the same despair every autumn: the feeling that sunshine, summertime, and probably life itself had passed me by before I'd even finished a halfway decent tree fort.
