A Life of Wonder: Salman Rushdie

January 18, 2010 by quiverandquill

I love Rushdie’s ability to bring the past into the present beautifully, the nuances of his language and his ability to create modern myth. One of my best friends said of Rushdie, “he’s the guy I want to learn from and the guy I want to kick it with.” I completely agree.

My favorite quote comes from his novel Midnight’s Children, “To understand one life you must swallow the world.”
