East, West (ISBN 0-394-28150-0) is a 1994 anthology of short stories by Salman Rushdie. The book is divided into three main sections, entitled "East", "West", and "East, West", each section containing stories from their respective geographical areas (in the "East, West" section both worlds are influenced by each other). Though Rushdie himself never divulged the exact inspirations for his stories in East, West, it is commonly thought that the central themes of each of his stories are drawn from his personal experiences as an immigrant in England during the time of the fatwas issued against his life. Rushdie weaves in many pop cultural references into his stories, just as television and Western media such as MTV and movies like Rambo have become popular throughout the world and on the Indian

The influence and travels of Indians and Indian culture is also shown in the West. (en)
  • Est, Ovest è una raccolta di racconti di Salman Rushdie pubblicata nel 1994. In una serie di brevi racconti, il libro mette a confronto, analizza e spiega il contrasto e le affinità dei due mondi in cui è vissuto.Da una parte l'Oriente che guarda l'Occidente cercando il progresso economico e una via di salvezza dalla povertà, come l'uomo risciò che sogna di diventare una star del cinema; dall'altra c'è l'Occidente che vede nell'Oriente una via per trovare la verità o la pace interiore. Dunque nella prima parte del libro, intitolata Est, racconta alcune storie della sua India, ironizzando sulla sua sorte, nella seconda parte, intitolata Ovest, invece rilegge, sempre in chiave ironica, alcuni miti come l'Amleto. Infine nella terza e ultima parte intitolata Est, Ovest, mette a confronto i due mondi e parla, trasversalmente, delle sue stesse esperienze, facendo rilevare la costante attrazione, ma soprattutto lacerazione, che i due mondi, in una specie di circolo vizioso, operano l'un l'altro attraendosi e respingendosi.
