Salman Rushdie: This Cultural Life
Novelist Sir Salman Rushdie talks to John Wilson about his formative creative influences and experiences, including his childhood in Bombay and the folk tales and religious fables he grew up with. He chooses Indian independence and partition in 1947 as one of the defining moments of his creative life, a period that formed the historical backdrop to Midnight's Children
