SALMAN RUSHDIE: WRITER IN THE WORLD

SALMAN RUSHDIE: WRITER IN THE WORLD

In this episode, recorded live at the 2025 Conference, Salman Rushdie, having received the Sun Valley Writers' Conference Writer in the World Prize, talks with his fellow novelist and great friend Colum McCann. Rushdie is a writer who needs no introduction: his name has long been recognized around the world for his brilliant writing and his unfailing courage in defending freedom of speech. He was honored for his extraordinary body of work, both fiction and non-fiction – including his memoir Knife:Meditations after an Attempted Murder, his account of the attempt on his life in August of 2022 and how the love of his wife, the writer Rachel Eliza Griffiths, helped him to survive – and for continuing to write in the face of immeasurable opposition and danger. Salman Rushdie is many remarkable things, but above all, and always, he is a writer and a teller of stories, and a master at that. *Photo Credit: Rachel Eliza Griffiths Learn more about your ad choices.
