Pynchon/Rushdie inquiry

[Dave Monroe]

>From "Words for Salman Rushdie," New York Times,
Sunday, March 12th, 1989 ...

"Meaning no harm, I, too, wrote a few sentences in my
first novel that angered the mighty in my country. At
that time, they only confiscated my book from
bookstores and threatened my liberty, but although
they did not threaten my life, perhaps I have at least
some idea of what it is like. I pray that tolerance
and respect for life prevail. I keep thinking of you."
Thomas Pynchon, United States.
