Beulah Borr

An intimate portrait, in his own words, of the Indian writer Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses (1988), thirty years after the fatwa uttered by the Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini: his youth in multicultural Bombay, his life in England, his many years of forced hiding, his thoughts on President Trump's United States of America.

He loved power and influence. The socialist left his mark on France and Europe. For 14 years - from 1981 to 1995 - François Mitterrand held the reins of the "Grande Nation" at the Elysée Palace in Paris. What remains of Mitterrand today? What remains of the reign of the first socialist president of the Fifth Republic?
