The article presents information about the book "The Ground Beneath Her Feet," by Salman Rushdie. "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" is Rushdie's Goodbye to Bombay Novel. And his Earthquake Novel, disclosing cracks in the composure of the landmass, fissures in the body politic, fault lines in the human character and "holes in the real" and his Martian Chronicles or Dune, intuiting the other world of dead twins, horny ghosts, snakebird gods, spells and usurpations. Rushdie likes the book too, and there's a lot more Bombay, India in The Ground Beneath Her Feet, from the Hanging Gardens to Scandal Point.
