@SalmanRushdie Having just realized that such an acclaimed tale teller as yourself lives in my city, I must ask the obvious question: what’s your favorite NYC pub for watching @SpursOfficial matches?? #COYS

“Now he is the dispenser of nuance-free certitudes, and becomes more vain with every passing day.” No better analysis of the state of our language, and politics, than this short fiction piece from ⁦⁩. From “The Old Man in the Piazza.”

My husband has pointed out that I never actually name @SalmanRushdie in the piece. This is not because he is #hewhomustnotbenamed, but rather because he is #hewhorequiresnointroduction 🌷

Replying to @pen_int @SalmanRushdie and 2 others
Time can change at anytime, just like you fabricated the satanic verses, now in Hiding for almost 2 decades. The verses you read out are dedicated to your self, as you conflicted a war upon your self. 😂😂😂

Well… Midnight’s Children was published in 1981, Forrest Gump (novel) in 1986 and (movie) in 1994, so maybe Gump is the american M’s C?

Uhm @ShaunakSA just enlightened me that Midnights Children by @SalmanRushdie is the Desi Forrest Gump and I don't know how to feel about this.
