 Salman
Rushdie gained notoriety with his 1989 book Satanic Verses and
the consequent death
sentence issued by the former Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini. UCSD welcomes the author September 20, when
ArtPower! hosts “An Evening With Salman Rushdie,” at
8:00 pm in Mandeville Auditorium. He will discuss his new book
Shalimar the Clown. “Not only is Salman Rushdie a masterful writer,” says
Martin Wollesen, ArtPower! artistic director, “but he is
also a powerful and fearless thinker, who pushes forward our
understanding of complex cultural, political and human conditions.”
Seats are $35, or $17.50 for students. For ticket information,
