Salman Rushdie (born Ahmed Salman Rushdie, Urdu: أحمد سلمان رشدی, Hindi: अहमद सलमान रश्‍दी on June 19, 1947, in Bombay, India) is a British Indian essayist and author of fiction, most of which is set on the Indian subcontinent. He lives in London and New York City. Rushdie grew up in a middle class Muslim family in Bombay (now Mumbai).

When he was 17 his family moved to Pakistan. He attended the Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai, Rugby School in Warwickshire, then King's College, Cambridge in England. Following an advertising career with Ayer Barker, he became a full-time writer. His narrative style, blending myth and fantasy with real life, has been described as magic realism. In 2004, Rushdie married his fourth wife, Indian model and actress Padma Lakshmi. He is best known for the violent criticism his book The Satanic Verses (1988) provoked in the Muslim community.

After death threats and a fatwa by Ruhollah Khomeini, calling for his assassination, he spent years underground, appearing in public only sporadically. Between 2004 and 2006 he served as president of the PEN American Center.

Salman Rushdie. The book was called Satanic Verses. I heard it was a dull book, but it had some anti-Islamic sentiments.
