Salman Rushdie

Festival Program
CLOSING LECTURE: Salman Rushdie—The Scattered Concept of Home
**Due to popular demand, a new block of balcony tickets will go on sale on first-come, first-serve at the door prior of Salman Rushdie’s program. Please inquire about tickets at the DePaul Merle Reskin Theater ticket window on November 13, 2005 no earlier than 3:30 p.m.

For 30 years the Indian-born author of Satanic Verses and the recent Shalimar the Clown, among others, has explored the consequences of living in the "Age of Migration." In his work and in his life, he has pondered the implications and public effects of the uprooted, de-familiarized human self. In one of the Festival’s final programs, he explores how all of our stories intersect—the story of India is now also an American tale; the story of al-Qaida is the story of New York.

Presented in partnership with the Kriti Festival and the Delhi Committee, Chicago Sister Cities International Program.
