Salman Rushdie

[Mark Kohut]

I used to see him waiting for publishing folks on the ground floor of
the Flatiron Building where I worked. He was without Secret Service
but not yet "out". Then, years later when he was touring on his own
again, he filled the 4th floor upstairs of the Union Square B &N...(he
phoned this talk in that night, I have to say)..I watched the
autograph line for awhile, it was dwindling down...and I moseyed down
those three long, long escalators and walked outside, turned right and
almost bumped into him catching up with Pashma (?) on the sidewalk.,
just another couple in Union Square. Like a time-slip, strange,  but
he had obviously come down a service elevator and come out a back
door. it was not long before they parted as a couple.

I rather enjoyed "The Enchantress of Florence," although I am likely a minority.  Never read Grimus - the only novel by Rushdie I haven't read.  His biography is pretty interesting although in places it sounds like a tribute to those who helped him in the fatwa and a trashing of those who didn't.
