11 Revelations From Salman Rushdie’s Memoir, ‘Joseph Anton’


9. Pynchon Emerges Almost every major writer lent their support to
Rushdie during the fatwa years (with the notable exception of John le
Carré.) One of them, “another famous invisible man,” was Thomas
Pynchon, and this gave Rushdie particular excitement. The two dined
together during one of Rushdie’s New York trips, and Pynchon spoke at
length about American labor history. They never met again after that.
