«The criticisms? I advise you to be less childish and grow up”

«I heard about the dispute between Mrs Melons And Roberto Saviano. At my personal risk I must say that politicians should get a little tougher skin because a politician nowadays, in addition to having great power, also has a lot of authority. So it is normal for someone among the population to talk about it directly, perhaps badly, even using a bad word like the one Roberto used. I would give this lady advice to be less childish and to grow up.” So does the writer Salman Rushdie at the Book Fair he responded on the dispute between Prime Minister Meloni and Saviano.

Rushdie, the criticism, Meloni

Rushdie, highly anticipated, is in Italy for the first time after the attack on 12 August 2022. At the Book Fair tomorrow he will present his book “Coltello. Meditations after an attempted assassination”, published by Mondadori, with Saviano, in which he told his terrible experience.

What he said

«This return to Italy means another victory for me. I had been here a month before the attack, we had returned to the USA shortly before. We had been to Sardinia, Umbria, Capri, a bit in Milan and Rome. The time of the pandemic had just ended and it was pleasant to be able to return to such a beautiful country. Today’s return to Italy is the closing of the circle” said the writer.

«I will stay in Italy for a while, then I will go to visit other European countries. Now it’s better not to be in America. Other books? I really hope so, I don’t know what it will be. I published two books in two years, now I’m taking a break”, she underlined.
