Most boring author I have ever read, without the fatwa he would be unknown
Only Mein Kampf/ Chronicles (the Bible) are more boring

I recall the fatwa placed on him in 1989, as reprisal to his Satanic Verses but have not read anything he has written.
Must have been a terrible life since then, getting about knowing you could be butchered at any time by a knife-weilding Islamic fanatic.
All the best for him but will be a stroke of luck he survives this attack.

He won the Booker Prize years before the Fatwa. Writers tend to become 'known' after winning the Booker.
You may as well say that JK Rowling was unknown before chicks with dicks called her a TERF.

"We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer." HST
If only they had the right to carry firearms in NY.
pew, pew, pew, pew!
Rushdie was nada, Solzhenitsyn was the real deal.

Shocking moment musician, 29, is shot THIRTY TIMES by three thugs and miraculously survives
Jamal, a 29-year-old reggae and blues singer, was walking two friends to their car after a party when he was attacked by the three assailants on June 10
Video released by the Toronto police shows the three suspects robbing the trio before Jamal is pistol whipped
The group leaves the area before coming back and opening fire on the musician
Singer suffered 30 entry and exit wounds on his body while police found 33 shell casings in total
Doctors repaired the man's damaged organs and veins while also putting plates in to repair his bones.
