Sir Salman

Posted on June 19, 2007 | Comments Off on Sir Salman

The usual tiresome Muslim furor over anything deemed insufficiently respectful of their religion, this time over Queen Elizabeth’s daring to knight author Salman Rushdie, makes me want to read his book "The Satanic Verses," which I admit never appealed to me before. I thought his Iranian death sentence years ago mostly a publicity stunt. But threatening rioting and suicide bombings over the book all these years later finally makes it interesting to me.

    Don’t bother trying to read the Satanic Verses. It is unreadable.

    Really? How far did you get? The idea of a conversation between two people falling through the sky after their plane was blown up by a terrorist sounds like a compelling beginning.
