Santa Barbara debut!

“A glittering novelist - one with startling imagination and intellectual resources, a master of perpetual storytelling.” The New Yorker

Salman Rushdie, one of the most celebrated authors of our time, writes thought-provoking novels in a compelling narrative that blends myth and fantasy with real life. Rushdie is the author of the Booker Prize-winning Midnight’s Children and the provocative book The Satanic Verses, deemed sacrilegious by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini. His most recently release book, Shalimar the Clown, artfully explores the roots of terrorism and the co-existence of different faiths and cultures. One of today’s most intriguing public intellectuals, Rushdie will discuss his work with esteemed author Pico Iyer (The Global Soul).
