The book was banned in mostly Islamic countries due to the references to the Quran and inspiration taken from the life of Muhammad. In Iran, there was a fatwa condemning Rushdie. Protests and attempts on his life took place. Sadly his Japanese translator Hitoshi Igarashi was killed in 1991.

"The moment you declare a set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision, or contempt, freedom of thought becomes impossible."

Telling myself stories. and never ending gratitude for the exciting adventures in my studio. This is a part of my recent project on Salman Rushdie.From his book “Haroun and the sea of stories”. For years I worked on and off with his novels. I was lucky to meet Rushdie in person and got a signed book in 2017 at a reading in Cologne, Germany. Then I sent some samples of my collages with his words to his office and got a friendly reply that he appreciated my artistic work and I was free to use his books. Now I'm coming back to this generous offer. 😉📚 #literature #salmanrushdie #harounandtheseaofstories #salmanrushdiequotes #salmanrushdiebooks #collage #analoguecollage #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage (presso Piombino, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpmrtIgKput/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

. "İnsan nefsi bir hükümdardır hükümdar olmasına, ne var ki bir fukara gibi açlık çeker. Bunlar gibi sarılıp sarmalanmış harikaları incelerken bir an için doysa da her zaman muhtaç, aç ve susuzdur. Hâkimiyeti daima tehlikededir onun, sayısız asinin, örneğin korku, kaygı, yalnızlık ve akıl karışıklığının tuhaf, tarif edilmez bir gururun ve vahşi, sessiz utancın insafına kalmıştır egemenliği." syf.33 . "Büyücülük için iksirlere, cinlere ya da büyülü asalara ihtiyaç yoktur. Tatlı dilli bir ağızdan dökülen sözcükler tılsımın ta kendisidir." syf.98 . “Belki de insanlığın laneti budur,” diye karşılık verdi Mogor. “Birbirimizden çok farklı olmamız değil, birbirimize çok benziyor olmamızdır lanetimiz.” syf.171 . "Evet, öyle, ölmüştü dünya. Ölü bir dünyanın parçası olmak için senin de ölmen gerekirdi. Dünyalar arasındaki sınıra ulaşana dek var gücünle koşman gerekirdi, sınıra varınca da durmadın, sanki sınır orada değilmiş gibi, sanki cam havaymış ve hava da cammış gibi koşmaya devam ettin, sen düşerken hava çevrende cam gibi bin parçaya ayrılıyordu. Hava, keskin bir bıçak gibi her yanını kesiyordu. Düşmek güzeldi. Hayattan düşerek ayrılmak güzeldi. Güzeldi." syf.240 . "Yaşayan bir ölü olmak," dedi il Machia'ya, "gerçek ölümden daha korkunç, çünkü yaşayan ölüler kırılan kalplerinin acısını hissetmeye devam ediyor." syf.299 . "Bir de her şeyi yönettiklerini sandıkları halde hiçbir şeyi yönetmeyenler vardı, onlar da her yerdeydi ve öyle kalabalıktılar ki toplumsal bir sınıf oluşturdukları bile söylenebilirdi" syf.328 #salmanrushdie #floransabüyücüsü #çeviri #begümkovulmaz #canyayınları #kitap #neokuyorum #okumakiptiladır #okumahalleri https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmzASzi9K0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Allen details this meeting with Rushdie to William Burroughs: AG: I brought that for you, it's an up-to-date report on Salman Rushdie's situation. WSB: Where the hell is he now, it's not America is it? AG: You know, I saw him. WSB: Yeah? AG: He apparently had been reading my poetry and he was in New York and asked to see me. So Andrew Wylie told me, so I went to a hotel, a secret hotel and had to pass the guards downstairs, and about ten big burly guys upstairs in the corridor and in the inner room. WSB: Who from? What police force? AG: Well, New York City police force at the moment. Then there was Andrew and Rushdie. Andrew showed me the curtains. The curtains were made of bullet-proof lead or some bullet-proof thing. So they were closed...and he was in this big flowery hotel room. He said he'd been reading my poetry, that he found it lively and he had two copies of my collected poems. We have the same agents...and he’d sent me a message before that he liked it, he said it was, you know, of the moment, lively. Then I asked him did he know how to meditate. He said, no actually he'd never got that. So I said would you like to learn? He said, “yeah! Why don't we do that?” So I sat him and Andrew down for like five-minute instruction, and one of the things I said in the whole instruction suggestions was relax the eyeballs with some sense of the periphery of the optical field, rather than staring at a point and straining the eye. So when we were all over with it...we'd sat for about five minutes...he said, "That was very interesting, the business of the periphery of the optical field.” And that was just one of many elements, but he must have a relatively subtle mind to pick up on that, eyeball kicks so to speak. WSB: So, yeah, meditation can solve a trap by just seeing it. If you see a trap...
