Grimus is a 1975 fantasy and science fiction novel written by Salman Rushdie.
Reviews of the book when first published emphasized its science fiction elements [1]. The science fiction author Brian Aldiss has claimed that he, Kingsley Amis and Arthur C. Clarke served on a science fiction book prize jury at the time which identified Grimus as the best candidate for a science fiction book of the year award, but this prize was refused by the publishers who did not want the book to be classified as science fiction for marketing reasons'[2].
