Thanks for leaving your insightful comment. Yes, you are right. I think now Rushdie should focus more on writing Hollywood scripts. Hi Atul.

Thanks for leaving your insightful comment. Yes, you are right. I think now Rushdie should focus more on writing Hollywood scripts.

salman , post fatwa, is a tabloid creation, whose last good book (in my opinion) was the moors last sigh, since then its just been embarassing for me to read him, dont get me wrong, im not into cave-bound, self-flagellating artists … his plot line are made of with color alone – his tales and characters are un-engaging, the going-ons vapid and the fierce representation of reality he sweetened through literature in Midnights Children has been dyed, made un-bearably loud for the post 90s world of half – scholars running the karma police (yes, every third person in the ” west ” will do nothing as much as look at a menu without totalling up the karma points – ).

but there is good reason for all this … rushdie knows that if he paints the truth in its original colors – dry and human – like arundhatti roy did in the god of small things, his word-count is numbered and another nut case regime will probably ask for his life; today every half-wit with an upgraded-to-business needs something to sound-bite with in the endless party merry go round, rushdie provides the ideas and his name is a great ice breaker because he is one of the few writers who has been very publicly adopted by a society he was not born into.

rushdie is like buddhism is to hollywood, a must have on the guest-list, eventhough nobody at the party has the slightest understanding of what the man or the writer is all about …

i can just seem him sitting back and laughing at all this nonsense written about him, and then feeling sad he is yet part of such a dull, uninspiring, stupid world.

rushdie ´s genius is in being able to remain completely invisible as you watch him take your 30 $, one mind at a time.
