RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Subversion of History and the Creation of Alternative Realities in Salman Rushdie A1 González Rodríguez, María Luz AB This paper analyses the existent relationship between historical realityand fiction in Rushdie’s three most important novels Shame, Midnight’sChildren and The Satanic Verses. In the act of remembering,history becomes personal and fragmentary, and this gives the authorthe opportunity to offering alternative historical versions of events underthe mask of several textual modes such as parody, allegory, myth,film, dreams, hallucinations, etc. These new visions of the world andhistory, moreover, liberate both the author and reader from the restrictionsof what is considered to be real.
