When I first wrote about the attack on author Sir Salman Rushdie earlier this year my blood boiled. You can see the article for more context. It’s been accepted for publication in Free Inquiry. The blood isn’t really boiling anymore either, thankfully. The attack was personal in some sense though, and still rests heavy on my mind.
There are updates when it comes to the Rushdie matter that must not be waved off or ignored. In an extraordinary turn of events, Rushdie’s new novel, which was in the publisher’s hands ahead of the attack, closes in true dramatic fashion. See the tweet below for the mind-bending conclusion. Even in tragedy, Salman Rushdie is so fucking cool. Be his audience.
