A quotation from Salman Rushdie

At its most effective, the censor’s lie actually succeeds in replacing the artist’s truth. That which is censored is thought to have deserved censorship. Boat-rocking is deplored.

Salman Rushdie (b. 1947) Indian novelist
Speech (2012-05-06), Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture, PEN World Voices Festival, New York City

Rushdie's memoir of his attack and recovery is grisly reading, but his reflections on its meaning or lack of meaning feel vital and true.

Rushdie's memoir recounts the details of his recovery from the knife attack which nearly ended his life, but as powerful is his exploration of reconciliation to the responsibility for words.

Just read chapter 1 of Salman Rushdie's Victory City and it's great. I don't know what it is but some of his books convince me there's such a thing as literature that's "elevated" somehow. It's Rushdie, Murakami, and Ishiguro for me.

But man, just that horrible cave-sage, instant classic archetype in its hypocritical awfulness. If I had the language skills to remember the name I'd be using it all the time.

"On the last day of her life, when she was two hundred and forty-seven years old, the blind poet, miracle worker and prophetess Pampa Kampana completed her immense narrative poem about Bisnaga and buried it in a clay pot sealed with wax in the heart of the ruined Royal Enclosure, as a message to the future."
