Mr Wiener reminded us:
> Rushdie, you will recall, reviewed VINELAND for the NYT.  He began
> his review by commenting on the lack of book jacket information--
> no photo, no city of residence.  It was something he could identify

My paperback copy of GR has a choice quote of praise from the pre-Fatwah
Rushdie on the cover, so I guess the admiration is fairly long-standing.
