Midnight's Children

Salman Rushdie

I met Salman Rushdie in Mumbai in 2013. When you interview someone that well known it’s hard to know what to expect. But he was friendly and down to earth. We talked about Mumbai, Midnight’s Children and more. News of his attack is horrific. Like so many, I really hope he’s ok. https://t.co/i9o8w8FP8O

If you’ve read her work or heard her podcast #BadCops you’ll know how special she is. Jess has been one of the BBC website’s best writers, a great friend, and she is the hippest person in the Washington bureau. Good luck with what’s next xxx https://t.co/DgRZuVqugB
