The idea
Salman Rushdie, born in Bombay in nineteen forty-seven and educated at Rugby and Cambridge, writes postmodern fiction in the tradition of magic realism. In nineteen eighty-nine Iran's Khomeini declared a fatwa against him over The Satanic Verses; in two thousand twenty-two he survived a stabbing.
