Salamans Rušdi, "Pusnakts bērni", "East, West" utt. Opcijas

[tiigjeris]

Visai sarežģīts rakstnieks. Brīžiem ir grūti lasīt, bet ir pietiekami interesanti, lai nepadotos. Man patīk nedaudz alternatīvās idejas un uztvere.

Brīžiem gan nedaudz nomācoša kļūst ideju daudzveidiiba un ir grūti koncentrēties uz pašu saturu kopumā (Un vēl, protams, jāatceras ļoti daudz dažādu personu). Bet man personīgi patīk stāstu neparedzamība. Pēdējā laikā vispār iznāk tā pavairāk saskarties ar Austrumu (konkrēti - Indijas) kultūrām, tādēļ arī vairāk pievēršos šim rakstniekam.
Un, ak jā, viņa stāstiem ir nežēlīgas tendences. Brīžiem aprakstītais šķiet šokējošs, lai gan - Indijā tas tāds varētu arī nelikties. Tas jau gan ir pavisam cits temats.

haahahaha

Rušdi bijis/ir pilnībā iemīlējies lotrā!

es taču JŪTU ar viņu dvēseļu kopību.
lūk fragments kur par to runāts

I remember two or three teachers who were inspirational teachers of the kind that you see in Robin Williams movies. There was a sweet, elderly gentleman called Mr. J. B. Hope-Simpson, who apart from being a good history teacher was also the person who introduced me to The Lord of the Rings when I was fifteen. I completely fell in love with it, somewhat to the harm of my studies. I still remember it in uncanny detail. I really responded to the language project, all the imaginary languages. I got quite good at Elvish at one point.


INTERVIEWER
Did you have anyone to speak Elvish with?


RUSHDIE
There were one or two other Lord of the Rings nerds.

un šeit mazliet tā:

INTERVIEWER
Alongside your interest in politics and power, there’s a lot of fantastic invention in your work. In fact, you’ve said that The Wizard of Oz made a writer of you.


RUSHDIE
After I saw the film, I went home and wrote a short story called “Over the Rainbow.” I was probably nine or ten. The story was about a boy walking down a sidewalk in Bombay and seeing the beginning of the rainbow, instead of the end—this shimmering thing arcing away from him. It had steps cut in it—usefully—rainbow-colored steps all the way up. He goes up over the rainbow and has fairy-tale adventures. He meets a talking Pianola at one point. The story has not survived. Probably just as well.

un te visa intervija, kur viņš runā par saviem darbiem, bērnību, politiku, terorismu, Indijas valodām un pašu rakstīšanas procesu
viena no worth-to-read intervijām vispār^^
btw viņš ir iecelts bruņinieka kārtā
