- "One would wish the thing to come to an end," said
- novelist-in-hiding Salman Rushdie. In his first published
- interview nearly a year after Muslim death threats drove him
- underground, Rushdie told Britain's Guardian last week that he's
- now working on a book for "fairly grownup children." Once again
- he urged his critics to read The Satanic Verses, because they
- "would see that it is not unsympathetic to them." He wants it
- to appear in every edition possible, including the planned
- paperback version, even though he knows that would surely make
- the controversy flame anew.
