Rushdie on Norfolk and Multatuli

I read in school, was 13, one of the many stories in it, 'Sajdjah and 
Adinda', a sad love story.  Even that young, I loved it.  Later on - not 
that much later on - came to love that classic.  Even now the 19th 
century Dutch sounds rather fresh.

I read Max Havelaar again about a year ago -- it reminded me of Melville 
-- more Confidence Man than Moby Dick.  Synchronicity again?
