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.
