Spectator by Seema Goswami: An eye on the future

“If I can’t burn you,” he told her, “I can certainly burn your book, which I don’t need to read to know that it’s full of unsuitable and forbidden thoughts, and then you will die and be forgotten, and nobody will know your name…What do you say to that?” That is the threat delivered to Pampa Kampana, the semi-magical, demi-goddess heroine of Salman Rushdie’s new novel, Victory City

In August 2022, Salman Rushdie was repeatedly stabbed by a fanatic in Chautauqua, New York. He was blinded in one eye and also lost the use of one hand. It hasn’t killed his spirit. (Twitter)
