Explanation and Analysis:

The Satanic Verses is an example of literary fiction. It also could be considered a "theological," a genre that features in the novel's plot as the primary kind of movie in which Gibreel tends to star. The work engages with (and, often, seriously questions) religious themes in a way that draws closely on spiritual myths, traditions, and symbols.
