His works often explore themes of cultural conflict, religion, and politics. In 1988, his novel The Satanic Verses sparked global controversy, leading to a fatwa issued by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini calling for his assassination. Rushdie spent years in hiding under police protection. He remains a prominent voice in contemporary English literature, celebrated for his literary innovation and defense of free expression. more

“Because I have subjected my colleagues (if I am allowed to assign such an appellation to those whose practices I so often find deficient) to a direct fire-line of criticism, and I understand fully the pain such treatment can inflict, I will assure all that I take pains to be as fair, thorough, and helpful as possible. Nowhere in my criticism will you find spoilers (as so many reviews contain) and always will you come across examples to back up my claims. Never will you see slander sprung from resentment, personal vendetta, bias or gratuitous pejorative.”
