21. RZ-Online (News): Salman Rushdie - Zehn Jahre Leben Im Untergrund
    Chronologischer AbriŸ ¼ber zehn Jahre Leben im Untergrund.  
    http://rhein-zeitung.de/on/98/09/23/topnews/rushchro.html
    
    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.

23. John Le Carré, Salman Rushdie And Christopher Hitchens Exchange Biting Letters
    Exchange of letters to the editor by authors salman rushdie, John le Carr©, and Christopher Hitchens in the British daily newspaper, The Guardian.  
    http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/burning/le-carre-vs-rushdie.html
    
    Extractions: author Salman Rushdie This is an exchange of letters to the editor by authors Salman Rushdie, John le Carré, and Christopher Hitchens in the British daily The Guardian. Rushdie wrote his initial letter to a speech by le Carré, excerpted in the November 15, 1997, issue of the The Guardian, in which le Carré complains of having been unfairly labeled an anti-Semite the previous fall in The New York Times Book Review. Rushdie, who lives under sentence of death by the Iranian government since early 1989, upbraids le Carré for sympathizing with the Islamic fundamentalists who would seek to murder him. November 18, 1997, John le Carré complains that he has been branded an anti-Semite as a result of a politically correct witch-hunt and declares himself innocent of the charge. It would be easier to sympathize with him had he not been so ready to join in an earlier campaign of vilification against a fellow writer. In 1989, during the worst days of the Islamic attack on

    http://www.dropbears.com/b/broughsbooks/literature/salman_rushdie.htm
    
    Extractions: Rushdie's narrator, Saleem Sinai, is the Hindu child raised by wealthy Muslims. Near the beginning of the novel, he informs us that he is falling apartliterally: I mean quite simply that I have begun to crack all over like an old jugthat my poor body, singular, unlovely, buffeted by too much history, subjected to drainage above and drainage below, mutilated by doors, brained by spittoons, has started coming apart at the seams. In short, I am literally disintegrating, slowly for the moment, although there are signs of an acceleration. We've seen this mix of magical thinking and political reality before in the works of G¼nter Grass and Gabriel Garc­a M¡rquez. What sets Rushdie apart is his mad prose pyrotechnics, the exuberant acrobatics of rhyme and alliteration, pun, wordplay, proper and "Babu" English chasing each other across the page in a dizzying, exhilarating cataract of words. Rushdie can be laugh-out-loud funny, but make no mistakethis is an angry book, and its author's outrage lends his language wings. Midnight's Children is Salman Rushdie's irate, affectionate love song to his native landnot so different from a Bombay talkie, after all.

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.

28. Censorship And Book Burning
    Some mordant, poignant quotes about censorship and book burning from such diverse thinkers as John Milton, Winston Churchill, Heinrich Heine, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and salman rushdie.  
    http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/burning/burning.html
    
    Extractions: on burning his newspaper Vieux Cordelier "Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race." Ralph Waldo Emerson Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education. John Morley "You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken - unspeakable! - fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse - a little tiny mouse! - of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic."

    Extractions: Rushdie, Salman Rushdie, Salman, Midnight's Children (1981; adapted for the stage by Rushdie, 2003) and Shame (1983), are examples of magic realism ; elements of this technique can also be found in his later fiction. Parts of his allegorical novel The Satanic Verses (1988) were deemed sacrilegious and enraged many Muslims, including the Ayatollah Khomeini , who in 1989 issued a fatwa sentencing Rushdie to death. Violence occurred in some cities where the book was sold, and Rushdie went into hiding. From his seclusion he wrote Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990), a novelistic allegory against censorship; East, West (1995), a book of short stories; and The Moor's Last Sigh (1995), a novel that examines India's recent history through the life of a Jewish-Christian family. The fatwa was lifted in 1998. Rushdie's next novel

    http://www.greatbooks.org/library/guides/rushdie.shtml
    
    Extractions: ABOUT Awarded the Booker Prize in 1981, Midnight's Children is Salman Rushdie's most highly regarded work of fiction, though not his best known. That distinction belongs to The Satanic Verses , the 1988 novel that prompted Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who considered the book blasphemous, to declare Rushdie an enemy of Islam and put a $1.5 million bounty on his head. But in Midnight's Children , Rushdie had already produced a novel that not only risks offending Muslim readers with its treatment of Islam, but also fiercely challenges our understanding of history, nationhood, and narrative. Midnight's Children If Saleem's history of India raises questions about the enterprise of recording history in general, his refusal to impose a conventional shape on his own story raises questions about how we understand our own lives. For example, when does the story of a life begin? Saleem conforms to convention by beginning his book, "I was born in the city of Bombay … once upon a time" (p. 3). However, by the next page, he has changed his mind about how to begin, telling us, "I must commence the business of remaking my life from the point at which it really began, some thirty-two years before anything as obvious, as present If the vision of India that emerges from Midnight's Children Midnight's Children comes to seem not only impossible to maintain, but also oppressive. In telling both his own story and that of modern India, Saleem is confined by nothing but the limits of his means. He may be caught in the abstractions and vagaries of language, but the struggle is itself an expression of freedom and an affirmation of the capacity of the writer's voice to shape reality.

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.

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.

    Extractions: "It's one of the things that people stopped saying about my writing at a certain point. I think because what came at me was so unfunny there was a tendency to believe my writing must have the characteristics of the attack against it. If the attack was unfunny then I couldn't possibly be a funny writer and if the attack was kind of arcane and theological and kind of alien then the writing must be sort of arcane and theological and alien, you know? I think, for people that had never tried my work, it kind of put them off." He is, arguably, one of the most controversial writers of our time. His fourth book, The Satanic Verses caused an international storm so loud that, for a time, it did all but obliterate the identity of the man who had written it. "Who would have thought this kind of thing?" Salman Rushdie says now of the fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini on February 14, 1989. "That the leader of a foreign power would suddenly instruct his minions to have me killed? It would never really happen to a writer."

    Extractions: N ovelista británico de origen indio. Nació en Bombay y estudió en la Universidad de Cambridge. Entre sus primeras publicaciones destacan las novelas Grimus Hijos de la medianoche (1981), una alegoría de la India moderna, y Verguenza (1983), donde emplea la fantasía y los sueños a la manera de los surrealistas. Hijos de la medianoche obtuvo el Premio Booker en 1981 y cosechó un inesperado éxito de crítica y público. Rushdie escribió también una crónica de sus viajes por Nicaragua, La sonrisa del jaguar (1987), y en 1991 publicó un libro para niños titulado Haroun . En 1988 aparecieron Los versos satánicos , una novela muy bien recibida en la que la fantasía se combina con la reflexión filosófica y el sentido del humor. Esta obra despertó las iras de los musulmanes shiíes, quienes la consideraron un insulto al Corán, a Mahoma y a la fe islámica. En consecuencia, la novela fue prohibida en la India, Pakistán, Suráfrica, Egipto y Arabia Saudí. En 1989 el ayatolá iraní Ruhollah Jomeini condenó a muerte al autor y a todos los implicados en la publicación del libro, y en 1992 se puso precio a su cabeza por valor de 5.000.000 de dólares. A pesar de que Rushdie se retractó públicamente y redactó una declaración en la que manifestaba su adhesión al Islam, la fatwá no fue levantada y el autor permanece escondido desde entonces. Ocasionalmente aparece en actos públicos de manera inesperada y concede algunas entrevistas. En 1995, publicó El suspiro del moro , ambientada en el reino nazarí de Granada y en 1999
