Normally, I don’t put a post up just to link to another article, but this was just too awesome to resist. In an interview in The Guardian newspaper, my boy Salman Rushdie rips into John Updike as revenge for Updike’s review of “Shalimar the Clown” in the New Yorker.
The good stuff is in the second paragraph.
My favorite line is, “Somewhere in Las Vegas there’s probably a male prostitute called ‘John Updike.’” Awesome!
First of all. Updike was Shalomar was horrendous.
Rushdie is wrong “Terrorist” was brilliant, one of the best books of the year.
Mewooooooow.
That should read “was right”

Haven’t read either of them, but I do love a good literary fight.

Maybe I’ve missed something, but I thought Updike’s review was fair.
Rushdie’s mechanics are a bit studied and overt at times.
They are each fighting for modern-day relevance, not over who reviewed what badly. Both of them should immediately retire from writing. Remember when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar refused to go gently? It’s very much like that, but worse.
