The review of Salman Rushdie’s new book Shalimar the Clown can be read here (via Moorish Girl). The reviewer has made an interesting note at the end:
The Swedes won’t dare to offend Islam by giving Rushdie the Nobel Prize he deserves more than any other living writer. Injustice rules.
So true!

I can’t comment as to whether Rushdie deserves the Nobel as I have read just one book of his. But it is true that the Nobel Prize also has its “politics”. Perhaps you can write a post on the “The Politics governing the Nobel Prize”. But then, that might require a whole book.
