Analysis of The Satanic Verses

I just read the wikipedia entry for the Satanic Verses. I understood alot more than I thought. Now I think the book is just plain stupid. I commit to the belief that this book was written to employ english literature professors...hence the example below:

Timothy Brennan called the work "the most ambitious novel yet published to deal with the immigrant experience in Britain" that captures the immigrants dream-like disorientation and their process of "union-by-hybridization". The book is seen as "fundamentally a study in alienation."

Srinivas Aravamudan’s analysis of The Satanic Verses was perceived by other scholars as hailing the book as a proof "demonstrating the compatibility of postmodernism and post-colonialism in the one novel."

I laugh...the guy used the word "postmodernism"...gee whiz

A good writer tells a story that can be understood by the common people. That is my take. It is a wonder that muslims understood the book and understood it! I don't. I don't get the point. Must be because I am not an Indian migrant to Britain living in a postmodernist dream like disorientation....

All I picture is a bunch of stoned Indians walking around London muttering "This isn't Kansas..."
