Victory City, in many ways, testifies to Salman Rushdie’s literary prowess, evident in his earlier works such as Midnight’s Children. The novel’s expansive narrative exudes a majestic grandeur, encompassing a wide array of characters, evoking echoes of familiar epics. Although centered on the rise and fall of a southern Indian state, it transcends spatiotemporal borders. The story moves back and forth through analepsis and prolepsis, interweaves side stories, and supports characters with finesse.
