Like many successful authors, Salman Rushdie’s first novel, Grimus, about a Native American who receives the gift of immortality, was an abject failure.

A. Like many successful authors, Salman Rushdie’s first novel, Grimus, about
B. As have many successful authors, the first of Salman Rushdie’s novels, Grimus, about
C. Just as with many successful authors, the first of Salman Rushdie’s novels, Grimus, about
D. Just like many successful authors, Salman Rushdie’s first novel, Grimus, on
E. As did many successful authors, Salman Rushdie’s first novel, Grimus, on

I dont see a good choice at all.

A & D compare authors to books.

C has idiom issue. Just as x So y is the correct idiom

B & E remain. I would choose E over B for two reasons

(1) as did is past tense

(2) SR's first novel is better than first of SR's novels.

about vs on??

Novel about is better than Novel on.

What is the source of this Q?
