Happy Birthday, Salman

Sir Salman Rushdie
Today is the 60th birthday of Salman Rushdie, born in Mumbai (then Bombay). His novel Midnight's Children won the Booker Prize. His novel The Satanic Verses won him a death sentence from the Ayatollah Khomeini (which was revoked in 1998).

May he enjoy many more.
