philosopher does not deserve the bad reputation he is often given by popular culture.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Born in Mumbai, India, Salman Rushdie is an outspoken novelist. After a decade working as an ad copywriter, Rushdie had a breakthrough with the publication of his second book, Midnight's Children. The book received critical acclaim and was awarded the Booker Prize in 1981.</p> <p>His latest novel, The Enchantress of Florence, about a bewitching Moghul princess and her Florentine exploits with such historical characters as Machiavelli, is due out this June - City Arts & Lectures</p> <p>Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie is an Indian-British novelist and essayist. He first achieved fame with his second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), which won the Booker Prize.Much of his early fiction is set at least partly on the Indian subcontinent. His style is often classified as magical realism, while a dominant theme of his work is the story of the many connections, disruptions, and migrations between the Eastern and Western worlds.</p> <p>His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (1988), led to protests from Muslims in several countries, some of which were violent. Faced with death threats and a fatwā (religious edict) issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then Supreme Leader of Iran, which called for him to be killed, he spent nearly a decade largely underground, appearing in public only sporadically.</p> <p>In June 2007, Rushdie was appointed a Knight Bachelor for services to literature. In 2007, he began a five-year term as distinguished writer in residence at Emory University.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46150-salman-rushdie-machiavelli-s-bad-rap">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45841-witness-the-stolen-children-part-2 2008-10-27T21:29:32Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-fSLFMVYL3o&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-fSLFMVYL3o&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45841-witness-the-stolen-children-part-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/53142" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>An elaborate cultural tradition separates children from parents and support while they clean and cook in other people's homes</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45841-witness-the-stolen-children-part-2">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45840-witness-the-stolen-children-part-1 2008-10-27T21:29:42Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZz3_AlieWg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZz3_AlieWg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45840-witness-the-stolen-children-part-1"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/53141" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>An elaborate cultural tradition separates children from parents and support while they clean and cook in other people's homes.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45840-witness-the-stolen-children-part-1">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/44053-today-s-news 2008-12-05T10:40:09Z The Ointment <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MtPBhqqJzXI&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MtPBhqqJzXI&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/44053-today-s-news"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50395" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The news for Tuesday, July 1, 2008 including Barack Obama and Bill Clinton's meeting, Prince Charles drinking and driving and some other stuff.
