    The Satanic Verses earned Slamin' Salman a fatwa. Fury looks interesting, but Ruhollah Khomeini hasn't published a review of that one.

    I am a Rushdie aficionado but maybe I was one since the more he writes the less I like him.
    Midnight's children remains my favourite Rushdie novel because it contains the peak of his writing style: post-modern historic novelist and powerful comic talent; but The Satanic Verses is Rushdie's masterpiece: better structure and more layered story and themes.
    "He had but one eye, and the popular prejudice runs in favour of two."

    Has he changed his name to escape the fatwa?
