Salman Rushdie: Languages of Truth
About the Event:
In Languages of Truth Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie (Quichotte) reflects on his long and complex relationship with storytelling. Through this compilation of seminal essays, criticism, and more recent speeches Rushdie explores the intersections of truth, language, art, and life—and some of his quintessential preoccupations: censorship, migration, and multiculturalism. At CHF, Rushdie is joined by poet Srikanth (Chicu) Reddy for a conversation about these conceptual crossroads and the lessons literature illuminates.
- All CHF's virtual events have closed captions.
