A new home for Rushdie<br />
Salman Rushdie, internationally celebrated for novels such as the Booker<br />
Prize–winning Midnight’s Children, The Satanic Verses, and The Moor’s<br />
Last Sigh, has joined <strong>Emory</strong>’s faculty as Distinguished Writer in Residence.<br />
During his five-year appointment, he will teach undergraduate and graduate<br />
classes, deliver lectures, advise students and participate in symposia.<br />
“Mr. Rushdie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help us understand<br />
the fault lines between cultures that threaten to rupture societies around<br />
the world,” said Robert Paul, dean of the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Rushdie has also placed his archive at Woodruff Library, including private<br />
journals and correspondence, notebooks, manuscripts and unpublished<br />
writings. By adding these to the papers of such figures as Seamus Heaney<br />
and Ted Hughes, according to Dana Gioia, chair of the National<br />
Endowment for the Arts, “<strong>Emory</strong> has become one of the<br />
major literary archives in North America.”
