Salman Rushdie on His Friendship with Christopher Hitchens

University Distinguished Professor Salman Rushdie participated in a class discussion of "The Moor's Last Sigh" led by Associate Professor of English Deepika Bahri with undergraduate students at Emory University on March 7, 2012. Here he responds to a question about his relationship with the late Christopher Hitchens. "One of the things about being Christopher's friend is that you disagreed with him maybe 75 percent of the time. But he was very enjoyable to disagree with," Rushdie says. "You could actually have very savage disagreements with him and it didn't affect your friendship."

The interdisciplinary course, "India Today: Economics, Politics, Innovation, and Sustainability," is supported by The Halle Institute for Global Learning (www.halleinstitute.emory.edu).
