May 7, 2008
The Aspen Writers’ Foundation and Explore Booksellers will present Salman Rushdie with the Aspen Prize for Literature during the AWF’s 2008 Aspen Summer Words Literary Festival: “Passage To India,” held June 22-26 in Aspen. Rushdie will headline the 32nd annual celebration of words and ideas that will honor the contemporary stories and storytellers of India.
Rushdie and his peers — Anita Rau Badami, Amit Chaudhuri, David Davidar, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Indu Sundaresan, Manil Suri and Dr. Shashi Tharoor — will bring the literary terroir of India to Aspen, discussing the themes of identity and language, gender, caste, diaspora and exile that have been a focal point of much Indian fiction. They will join 19 other award-winning authors, agents and editors from the U.S. in 15+ literary events and parties held over the course of the five days of Aspen Summer Words.
“As the home to 216 languages and the ancestral home of some of the world’s oldest literary texts, we are thrilled to celebrate India and honored to bring to Aspen some of the biggest names in Indian writing,” said Lisa Consiglio, executive director of the Aspen Writers’ Foundation.
ASPEN PRIZE FOR LITERATURE
Salman Rushie, winner of the 2008 Aspen Prize for Literature, is widely considered to be both the father of contemporary English-language Indian literature and one of the finest living novelists today. He is the author of ten novels, including The Enchantress of Florence; Midnight’s Children, which won the Booker Prize; and The Satanic Verses, which won the Whitbread Novel Award and famously lead to accusations of blasphemy against Islam and subsequently a fatwa against the author. Despite being self-exiled, he continued to write and publish books, including novels, a children’s book, essays, criticism, short stories, theatrical adaptations, and a travel narrative. The Aspen Prize for Literature is sponsored by the Bedell World Citizenship Fund. Read more
