It has only been recently that I have come to realize there is so much more to Rushdie than the provocative-writer image I had of him because of Satanic Verses. Shalimar the Clown is next on my reading list. Have read mixed reviews about the book, and was debating whether or not I should buy it, but after watching the interview below, my curiosity got the better of me, and I got myself a copy.

CLIP 1(video) : Rushdie at Penn State.The video is about an hour long.

Sorry, couldn't find a way to post clip without the i-frame since "em-bedding" is not enabled on the clip. If you don't like the frame, you can open the video in a new window by clicking here



CLIP 2 (video) : Rushdie talking to Charlie Rose about Shalimar the Clown, amongst other things. He is featured in the second segment - forward to 18:30


(FORWARD TO 18:30)


CLIP 3 (video) : Rushdie reads from The Satanic Verses at the PEN American Center Festival of Writers on April 26, 2006.
