Salman Rushdie at The U

Sorry for the short notice but I just found out. Salman Rushdie will be speaking about modern terrorism at the Storer Auditorium (College of Business) 6PM Monday, November 14. Now I'm really confused about his not being at the Book Fair. I would see him a dozen times before any other of the "Evening With..." authors (not including Carlos Alberto Montaner since his in Spanish). Mike Wallace may have a book out, but he IS NOT a writer. The others Jon Kozol, Margaret Atwood, Dr. Weil, Marilynne Robinson, Joan Didion and Terry McMillan include a noteworthy literary talent or maybe even two but do not outshine Rushdie's influence.
