So, I had the honour of sitting down with Salman Rushdie yesterday for an entire hour!
Author of nine novels, Booker prize winner, British knight, the man who infuriated much of the Muslim world and prompted Iran's supreme leader to put a price on his head, forcing him to go into hiding for a decade...
Yeah, I was nervous, but it actually went really, really well. We were only scheduled for 45 minutes, and I planned to only use 30, but we had such a great conversation and the interview went in so many different directions, that we stretched it out for a whole hour.
At the end we both said 'wow, that flew by!'. So fascinating to speak with him.
He has a new book out called "The Enchantress of Florence" which I really enjoyed.
I've written a story about the book and the interview. If you want to, you can read it here
Also, he asked for my blog address, so he might be reading this right now.
Just kidding about that last part.
Thanks for checking in! I promise to write more soon...
