'Salman Rushdie has refused to be terrorized. Outside of his writing, this is the lesson of his life,' writes Bono TIME100
I was not surprised the great novelist was able to describeon Aug. 12, 2022—as he was speaking about the U.S. as a safe place for exiled writers—with frame-by-frame specificity. Salman didn’t miss a detail as he recounted the crisis he had prepared for since 1989. What did surprise me was that he made me laugh. “Really?” he recalled thinking.
For me, rock ’n’ roll has always been about liberation. Salman’s continued creativity has become a different expression of that same liberation, a defiance and a determination not to be silenced. Of course there was anguish as he told me the story of the attack, but what was clear was that he would not bow. Freedom often loses but is never defeated.
