2015 saw the publication of ''[[Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights]]'', a modern take on the ''[[One Thousand and One Nights]]''. Based on the conflict of scholar [[Ibn Rushd]] (from whom Rushdie's family name derives), Rushdie explores themes of [[transnationalism]] and [[cosmopolitanism]] by depicting a war of the universe with a supernatural world of [[jinns]]. [[Ursula K. Le Guin]] wrote: "Rushdie is our [[Scheherazade]], inexhaustibly enfolding story within story and unfolding tale after tale with such irrepressible delight that it comes as a shock to remember that, like her, he has lived the life of a storyteller in immediate peril. Scheherazade told her 1,001 tales to put off a stupid, cruel threat of death; Rushdie found himself under similar threat for telling an unwelcome tale. So far, like her, he has succeeded in escaping. May he continue to do so."<ref name="LeGuin 2015 Rushdie ">{{cite news | first=Ursula K. |last=Le Guin | title=Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty‑Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie review – a modern Arabian Nights | newspaper=The Guardian | date=2015-09-04 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/sep/04/two-years-eight-months-and-twenty-eight-nights-salman-rushdie-review | access-date=2024-03-04}}</ref>
