Episode description
Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses may be the first book we've covered to have caused a full-blown International Incident. Rushdie's notorious fourth novel tackles issues of immigration, identity and revelation, but it's the passages inspired by the life of the prophet Muhammad that sparked the most outrage.
Join us for a conversation about haunting decisions, amazing transformations, and Andrew's terrible stance on pineapple and pizza.
