Deja is back and she's got a banger episode that will be a two parter! In this episode, Deja is going to dive into the writings of Salmon Rushdie who is one of the most controversial writers of the post modern age.
Rushdie is an Indian born / British educated writer who is most known for his book, The Satanic Verses. In this book, Rushdie approached reality with magical realism and quickly lit a fire in a contentious period of world history known as the late 1980's / 1990's where lots of people of all religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds got super upset over a single book.
Ultimately, Rushdie was stabbed in the back and lost an eye over this book!!!
So join in on what could be the most divisive episode of The Day's Dumpster Fire could ever hope to produce. This episode will try and shed light on both sides of Rushdie's work in terms of his writing style and subject matter.
Contemporary mindset, mixed religious and political theory, with a splash of orthodoxic Old Testament interpretation... What could possibly go wrong?
