Salman Rushdie with Paul Holdengräber: The Golden House

On September 6, 2017, the Booker Prize-winning novelist Salman Rushdie sat down with Paul Holdengräber to discuss his most overtly political novel in over a decade. 'The Golden House' pits the lives of an enigmatic billionaire and his three grown sons living in one of Greenwich Village’s most rarefied neighborhoods against those of a young filmmaker, an ambitious Russian expat, and a villainous presidential candidate called The Joker. Salman Rushdie shares the stories behind his book, a modern fable of love and betrayal, of terrorism and politics, and of the splinters that secrets drive between all of us.
