The book was meandering and kind of boring.

I liked the miniseries of Station Eleven way more than the book.

Seriously that show was so damn good.

Salman Rushdie. British-Indian writer. Won the Booker prize for Midnight’s Children. Was condemned by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini for blasphemy for his next book The Satanic Verses. Sentenced to death. Spent decades living in hiding. Finally coming out of his seclusion in NYC.

Several translators were murdered by Islamic radicals. In 2022 Rushdie himself was attacked on stage and stabbed repeatedly. Lost an eye and use of one hand.

He’s a master class writer of magical realism and definitely one of my favorites.

Rushdie.

2. Goodwill.

3. I like this book. It goes on a bottom shelf where I can find space.

4. Banger. I’m finding a spot for this and am going to read more of the author’s work.

5. Genius.

6. Double genius plus double good.

I’m really hot….

Feeling hot is one of the first stages of severe hypothermia….

Maybe we should huddle together for warmth…

Don’t… be a fag…
