[Saudamini Kalra]

Hello,

Since today's class was cancelled due to lack of classroom/lack of students, Prof Brahme wants to have class on Friday at 11 am. Any cribs?

Here's the original article by Thayil that Tabish Khair is responding to:

I agree with Khair's critique but I felt like Thayil's article struck a chord with me. Now I'm trying not to think of what my mummy daddy uncle aunty would say if they read what I'm writing. My mother insists that I send her everything I write, though. She's nice enough not to say when she's scandalized.

I found this interview of Rushdie's extremely fascinating. Depite all that he has been through (and it is a lot of anguish). this:

 So if you redrafted The Satanic Verses today, knowing the miseries the fatwa caused you, you'd have written something even more critical   of Islam? "Definitely."

Dear class,

I will be presenting from the "Part X. The Body and Performance" from the Postcolonial Reader. I may present more than one essay so will confirm the title(s) soon.

Best,
