HTML:From one of the great novelists of our day, a vital, brilliant new book of essays, speeches and articles essential for our times. Step Across This Line showcases the other side of one of fictionâ??s most astonishing conjurors. On display is Salman Rushdieâ??s incisive, thoughtful and generous mind, in prose that is as entertaining as it is topical. The world is here, captured in pieces on a dazzling array of subjects: from New Yorkâ??s Amadou Diallo case to the Wizard of Oz, from U2 to fifty years of Indian writing, from a tribute to Angela Carter to the struggle to film Midnightâ??s Children. The title essay was originally delivered at Yale as the 2002 Tanner lecture on human values, and examines the changing meaning of frontiers in the modern world â?? moral and metaphorical frontiers as well as physical ones. The collection chronicles Rushdieâ??s intellectual journeys, but it is also an intimate invitation in Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

My favourite quote:
"What [Dorothy] embodies . . . is the human dream of leaving, a dream at least as powerful as the countervailing dream of roots . . . this is unarguably a film about the joys of going away, of leaving the greyness and entering the color, of making a new life in 'the place where there isn't any trouble' . . . it is a celebration of Escape, a grand paean to the uprooted self, a hymn - the hymn - to Elsewhere."
His essays range from rock music to his life under the fatwa.
I'm definitely going to try out Haroun and the Sea of Stories and Midnight's Children/ (
