I read a short story by Rushdie once several years ago for class, and I liked it. He's an Indian author who lives in the muddled confusion that involves every culture influenced by globalization. Only he doesn't write about it head-on. He writes about its roots (in my current novel), or he just writes a really great story that involves a humanistic philosophy (what other philosopher would ponder 'the first person singular--the "I"'?) set upside down by the uncivilized world's march toward progress. At least, I hope it's a really great story. This one seems to be.
One very non-humanistic, very Christian idea (or is it?? Would Rushdie's main character learn a Christian lesson before Christ was born? Is it, instead, some Hindi religous idea that also just happens to be a Christian concept?) which I love: "The lessening from which growing could begin." Sounds to me like this: "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
