In his new collection “The Eleventh Hour,” his short story “The Old Man in the Piazza” becomes a chilling metaphor for this unraveling. Rushdie sees writers as keepers of memory, shaping what the future remembers—and he’s sounding the alarm: things are getting worse, not better. He also skewers Mumbai’s extreme wealth disparity, where billionaires live alongside slums in a way unmatched anywhere else. Reflecting on his own survival after the 2022 attack, he chose to focus on love over rage, turning pain into a story of beauty and resilience. And when asked for his favorite book? He admits it’s hard—but names James Joyce’s “Ulysses” as the work that once unlocked his own voice. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
