RKS Literature: Easy American Victims: Inept and Unflappable Delhi Pickpocket (Salman Rushdie)
India can be a tough country for Americans, who are seen as walking dollar signs and, what as innocents abroad: legitimate targets, easy meat. Within hours of checking in at their five-star South Delhi hotel, they had been importuned, without ,leaving the grounds, by money changers offering them the best black rate in town forContinue reading “RKS Literature: Easy American Victims: Inept and Unflappable Delhi Pickpocket (Salman Rushdie)”
RKS Literature: The United States the Real Victor in Vietnam (Salman Rushdie)
My idea was that the war in Indochina hadn’t ended at the time of the ignominious U.S. withdrawal. They’d left a wooden horse standing at the gates, and when the Indochinese accepted the gift, the real warriors of America-the big corporations, the sports culture of basketball and baseball, and of course rock’n roll-came swinging outContinue reading “RKS Literature: The United States the Real Victor in Vietnam (Salman Rushdie)”

RKS Literature: WHY CAN ANYONE BE UNHAPPY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM? (Salman Rushdie)
They say, sir, that in the U, K. if a man does not have a job, the government gives him money. If he does not have a job, the government gives him money. If he does not have a house, the government gives him a pukka residence, not a jopadpatti shack on the pavement butContinue reading “RKS Literature: WHY CAN ANYONE BE UNHAPPY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM?

RKS Literature: I WANT TO BE IN AMERICA (Salman Rushdie)
I want to be in America, America where everyone’s like me, because everyone comes from somewhere else. All those histories, persecutions, massacres, piracies, slaveries; all those secret ceremonies, hanged witches, weeping wooden virgins and horned unyielding gods; all that yearning, hope, greed, excess, the whole lot adding up to a fabulous noisy historyless self-inventing citizenryContinue reading “RKS Literature: I WANT TO BE IN AMERICA (Salman Rushdie)”
RKS Literature: England an Ersatz America (Salman Rushdie)
Nowadays England is ersatz America, America’s delayed echo, America driving on the left. Sure, Jesse Garon Parker was white American trash who wanted to sing like a black boy, but the Beatles, for goodness sake, the Beatles are white English trash trying to sing like American girls. Crystals Ronettes Shirelles Chantels Chiffons Vandellas Marvelettes, whyContinue reading “RKS Literature: England an Ersatz America (Salman Rushdie)”

RKS Literature: 1965 Air India Flight from Bombay to London: Like the Mayflower (Salman Rushdie)
Welcome aboard the Mayflower, he greets them, seizing their hands as they pass by his seat, the terrified uncomprehending peasants from remote inland villages on their way to desert kingdoms, the perspiration sprinkled young executives in cheap suits, the frowning chaperones of a veiled young bride fainting in a pink gharana with too much goldContinue reading “RKS Literature: 1965 Air India Flight from Bombay to London: Like the Mayflower (Salman Rushdie)”
BEYOND PUPPYDOM: INCIDENTS, ACCIDENTS, EXPLORATIONS AND MAYHEM: RORY DYLAN STEPHEN TELLS IT LIKE IT IS: RORY DYLAN STEPHEN AIRLIFTED TO SWITZERLAND FOR MEDICAL CARE
RORY DYLAN STEPHEN AIRLIFTED TO SWITZERLAND FOR MEDICAL CARE Bob, Fay and Raffles were very concerned with my uncharacteristic behaviour. Not eating well, apathetic and reluctant to go out on my usual multitude of walks. It was the crying in my sleep and refusal to chase tennis balls that sounded the alarm bells. Bob isContinue reading “BEYOND PUPPYDOM: INCIDENTS, ACCIDENTS, EXPLORATIONS AND MAYHEM: RORY DYLAN STEPHEN TELLS IT LIKE IT IS: RORY DYLAN STEPHEN AIRLIFTED TO SWITZERLAND FOR MEDICAL CARE”
