Riya Gets Touchy About Rushdie

I find Salman Rushdie nothing more than a literary playboy. That he is a fine writer, I have not a dram of doubt about but I hate the way he is feted about in academic circles. I however would be compelled to echo the opinion that the subjects of Rushdie’s books are almost always fascinating, but his narrative has no real depth. In essence Salman Rushdie is a product of his times. He was lucky after the publication of his stunning second novel Midnights children and rode the waves of literary fashion.
