Corr Blimey! What a strange and peculiar day indeed it was for me out in Yorkville today! It just so happened folks that I was strolling along on that famous strip and celebrity hotspot in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada when I saw something….er…..someone rather that really caught my eye! I was gobsmacked with utter awe if not disbelief to see one of the most controversial figures in contemporary twentieth century literature walk right down the driveway of one of the major Yorkville area four star hotels accompanied only by an unknown acquaintance or friend of his, much to everyone’s shock! This was the same man who for nearly a decade was forced into hiding and became a complete recluse from public society due to a threat on his life summoned by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the time in the Ayatollah Khomeini for writing and publishing a sacreligious literary work back in 1989 that was deemed blasphemous to followers of Islam: the Satanic Verses. Well, I guess for folks like Salman Rushdie, you really can’t shake the thought of being viewed as a celebrity or public figure so why in the world would you not go about living life and continue to write blasphemous piss-takes on certain cultures or universal faiths? Stick to what you’re good at doing is all I’m sayin’ here!
