![]() ![]() I’ll be posting at least twice a week, more often if I’m bursting to tell you something. An ocean of stories from Salman Rushdie: Ill be talking about stories Ive read or seen, true stories, tall stories, stories about me, and some I just made. There’s just us here, just you and me, and we can take this wherever it goes. The point of doing this is to have a closer relationship with readers, to speak freely, without any intermediaries or gatekeepers. If you decide to become a paid subscriber you’ll be able to read that, and more of my made-up stories, as well as personal stories, the stories behind the stories I’ll be telling, and sometimes I’ll ask you questions, too, and we can have a conversation about it all. Some of it won’t be, including a new, unpublished, full-length fiction I’ll be putting up in installments every week. And maybe as we proceed I’ll put up original stories of my own too, fictions that you won’t be able to read anywhere else.Ī lot of that will be on here for free. ![]() What I’m going to do here is to talk about stories that have had a big impact on me, stories I’ve read in books or on the news, or seen in the movies or on TV or in a theater, or heard from my parents or my friends. Stories are very near the heart of human nature. ![]() ![]() We make up brilliant stories too, and they tell us the truth about ourselves in a million different ways. We all use stories to understand the kind of creatures we are - family stories, tales of our communities, sacred stories, national stories. Telling stories: human beings are the only creatures on earth who do this strange thing. ![]()
