What I've Learned: Salman Rushdie on Esquire. Some questions are very interesting and Rushdie's replies are endearing. Funnily, I really like Rushdie the man who comes across in his essays and non-fiction. Somehow, there are moments when Rushdie the fiction writer seems unreachable to me the reader.
About me
- I'm Echo/Lavanya
- From Chennai, India
- So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?

Nice writing by Rushdie. Thanks for posting this on your blog. He does seem more accessible in this than in his novels - you are right about that.

@ns - welcome here. I am glad you think Rushdie is more accessible in his non-fiction.
