    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Salman Rushdie (1947-) Anglo-Indian novelist, who uses in his works tales from various genres - fantasy, mythology, religion, oral tradition. Rushdie's narrative technique has connected his books to magic realism , which includes such English-language authors as Peter Carey, Angela Carter , E.L. Doctorow, John Fowles , Mark Helprin or Emma Tennant. - Salman Rushdie was condemned to death by the former Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on February 14,1989, after publishing SATANIC VERSES. Naguib Mahfouz , the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature, criticized Khomeini for 'intellectual terrorism' but changed his view later and said that Rushdie did not have 'the right to insult anything, especially a prophet or anything considered holy.' The Nobel writer V.S. Naipaul described Khomeini's fatwa as "an extreme form of literary criticism." "Insults are mysteries. What seems to the bystander to be the cruelest, most destructive sledgehammer of an assault, whore!

    Extractions: Der britisch-indische Schriftsteller Salman Rushdie ist vor fast zehn Jahren untergetaucht und führt seitdem ein Leben im Versteck. Mit seinem 1988 erschienenen Roman "Die satanischen Verse" hatte er sich den Zorn vieler Muslime zugezogen, die sich in ihrem religiösen Empfinden verletzt fühlten. Im Februar 1989 verkündete der iranische Revolutionsführer Ayatollah Khomeini einen Mordaufruf ("Fatwa") gegen den Schriftsteller, weil er den Islam beleidigt habe. Seitdem verbirgt Rushdie sich an ständig wechselnden Orten und tritt in der Öffentlichkeit nur unter extremen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen oder als Überraschungsgast auf. "Die satanischen Verse" erscheinen in London Ajatollah Khomeini verkündet in einer "Fatwa" (Rechtsgutachten) das "Todesurteil" gegen Rushdie. Rushdie entschuldigt sich, Khomeini lehnt ab. Die pro-iranische Untergrundbewegung Hisbollah gelobt, das Todesurteil zu vollstrecken. Über 1.000 Schriftsteller, Verleger, Buchhändler und Künstler geben eine "Weltweite Erklärung" zugunsten Rushdies ab.

    Extractions: a bad novel Photographs by Sibylla Herbrich I f Salman Rushdie seems, seven years after the fatwa, to be emerging from his underground exile, it is a cautious coming out. On his recent U.S. book tour to promote "The Moor's Last Sigh," his first novel since the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini sentenced him to death in 1989 for allegedly defaming Islam in "The Satanic Verses," he has appeared on the "Phil Donahue Show" and on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He has given semi-public readings and attended private parties in his honor all over the country. But he still travels with bodyguards and no one, even the journalists who are scheduled to interview him, knows where he will be in advance. While he was in San Francisco, the U.S. poet laureate Robert Hass threw a literary party attended by nearly every famous writer in town, from Alice Adams and Czeslaw Milosz to Richard North Patterson and Bharati Mukherjee, as well as celebrities such as former California governor Jerry Brown, singer Linda Ronstadt and actor Robin Williams. But the guests were informed of the party's location only on the day of the event. Likewise, the SALON interviewer and photographer were told to meet Rushdie's Pantheon publicist at a cafe a couple of blocks from the bed-and-breakfast where he was staying, and were screened by a phalanx of serious-looking bodyguards before they were allowed to enter his room. Though he is an affable interview subject and a famously brilliant conversationalist, the 48-year-old Rushdie is tired of talking about the fatwa. And he is impatient with suggestions that his new novel, a wonderfully playful family epic told by a descendant of the explorer Vasco da Gama who was born with a strange condition that makes him age twice as fast as everyone else, is a metaphor for his situation. "The Moor's Last Sigh" is his best novel yet, the wordplay brilliant, the ideas rich and provocative, the story a page-turner. Rushdie is relieved and delighted to be writing novels and to be socially active again, however circumscribed his participation must necessarily continue to be.

Quiz Three years ago, across the frontier in Pakistan, the equally weak government of prime minister Nawaz Sharif had bankrupted the economy and was facing well-documented corruption charges. Sharif, too, had much to gain from war-fever. The hawkish Pakistani general who presided over a military regime that liaised with and trained terrorist groups operating from the Pakistani side of the Kashmiri line of control was one Pervez Musharraf. (Some of these groups were almost certainly sent by Pakistan's intelligence service to al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan.)

When, on Thursday 24th September 1998, Britain and Iran struck a deal at the United Nations in New York to end the death threat over Salman Rushdie, the author appeared to be sure that a definitive breakthrough had been achieved for him: "All I can say is that it seems that this has been done in Iran with consensus. There doesn't seem to be any opposition to it in Iran." The Iranian Foreign Minister, Kamal Kharrazi had said in his statement, "The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention, nor is it going to take any action whatsoever to threaten the life of the author of The Satanic Verses or anybody associated with his work; nor will it encourage or assist anybody to do so." Many news reports celebrated the end of the 'Rushdie Affair' and welcomed the tentative restoration of full diplomatic relations with Iran (from charge d'affaires to ambassadorial level). However, two serious problems soon became apparent. Firstly, the deal was in fact more a climb-down on the part of the British than the Iranians. The British government had dropped several of its previous demands, by settling for a verbal rather than written statement from Iran and by waiving the requirement that the bounty be annulled.

Condemned to death by Iranian Islamic extremists for his novel The Satanic Verses, Rushdie was essentially hijacked from his life and held hostage. Driven by conscience and circumstance to speak out for freedom of expression and intellectual liberty, and compelled by his artist’s soul to write imaginatively, he has managed to continue writing exciting fiction while developing a potent nonfiction voice in which he gracefully parses politics and art with equal vigor, knowledge, and, most remarkably, irrepressible joy. A world-class writer and perceptive witness to international politics, personal valor, religious intolerance, and artistic transcendence, he has written stirring and significant essays about his harrowing, often surreal life in the wake of the fatwa

    Extractions: Web posted at: 7:15 p.m. EST (0015 GMT) LONDON (CNN) Author Salman Rushdie has been on the run for exactly eight years, living a secretive life in Britain and traveling only under the strictest security. It was eight years ago, on February 14, 1989, that the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a "fatwa" or religious death sentence for blaspheming Islam in his novel "The Satanic Verses." Khomeini's call to Muslims around the world to kill Rushdie has been protested by governments and writers' and human rights groups, but to no avail. Earlier this week, the 15 Khordad Foundation of Iran raised the bounty on Rushdie's head from $2 million to $2.5 million if he were killed during the 10-day celebration of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. The celebration ended Monday. And before prayers at Tehran University campus Friday, worshippers chanted, "The apostate Salman Rushdie must be executed." In an interview with CNN, Rushdie discusses his years of hiding, his struggle for self-respect and of "living day to day."

Rushdie's first novel, Grimus, was a slight, whimsical oddity. Midnight's Children - a Booker and Booker of Bookers winner - was an unprecedented achievement, a melange of magical realism, historical engagement and stylistic pyrotechnics. With the 1989 fatwa over Satanic Verses, Rushdie became a political figure, with all the distractions from literary assessments that that entails (that the offensive passage was an anti-realist dream sequence simply made the whole affair so much odder). Today he is mocked for his rock-star buddies and singular style, but remains one of the biggest talents in post-colonial literature.

    Extractions: Buy this book more on books at VLS n Midnight's Children Salman Rushdie's hero was born at the inception of India's independence. Ormus Cama, the expatriate protagonist of Rushdie's sprawling, omnivorous, and millennial The Ground Beneath Her Feet , is exactly the same age as another great and indefinable bastard nation: rock and roll. Like some overwhelming Rhino Records box set, the novel tries to encompass four decades of pop culture as well as the clash of East and West through Ormus Cama's imagined life and career. But this overloaded ark of a novel does more than span goatherders in Bombay and the New York of Lou Reed and Andy Warhol: Rushdie bumps his ship into the realm of alternate history—usually the province of genre experts like Philip K. Dick and Robert Harris—and in one big, sloppy leap colonizes it. Cama, born to a convoluted and fabulous Bombay family, is, like Elvis Presley (and Philip K. Dick), the surviving sibling of a dead baby twin. He's also a paradigmatic child of rock and roll, born fingering an air guitar and mouthing nonsense lyrics that foretell the hit songs about to transform the culture of the far-off United States. Ormus is a godlike amalgam of Gatsby and Dylan and Orpheus, and by the end of the book he's a little bit of David Bowie's character in
