The Jaguar Smile is Salman Rushdie's first full-length non-fiction book, which he wrote in 1987 after visiting Nicaragua. This was just the fourth book published by the author.
The book was written during a break the author took from writing his controversial novel, The Satanic Verses. In a book review in Time, reviewer Pico Iyer, praised Rushdie's account that was "quickened by a novelist's eye".
