Salman Rushdie talks to Michael Enright

I'm glad that CBC is back on the air again. Working alone often my days are defined by the rhythms of radio (1 or 2). That's been interrupted lately.

This morning, Michael Enright's Sunday Report included his interview with Salman Rushdie about Shalimar the Clown (a book brutal in its portrayal of love and loss, jealousy and division). In response to a question about [his] philosophy of life, Rushdie deflected the question by citing Saul Bellow: 'We live in an age of reality instructors".

But isn't Rushdie's parable just another mode of instruction?
