Please welcome to the program Salman Rushdie.
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
First question, obviously, how are you?
This was obviously a traumatic experience.
How are you feeling?
Yes.
I have to say, and I know it sounds peculiar to say this, because of the traumatic experience that you endured, I love this book.
Thank you.
It's a beautiful...
work of introspection, I feel like I know now how your mind works.
You know, I've read other of your books, but you really do a wonderful job of taking us through how you think.
I had to read this book with another book next to me to get just some of the references.
But it allows you, you know, sometimes you read an author's memoir and there's a certain self-consciousness to it.
But maybe because this is about a traumatic incident, I feel like
your defenses were down, and it was very revelatory.
Yes.
The love story, by the way, is with his wonderful wife, Eliza, who is really the hero, maybe, of the book.
Is there competition in writerly families?
I thought a really interesting part of the book is, spoiler alert at the end, when you go back to Chautauqua.
