Salman Rushdie’s career has been shaped by movement across languages, countries, and forms. Born in Bombay on June 19, 1947, he grew up between Indian and British worlds, later studying at Rugby School and then at King’s College, Cambridge, where he took a degree in history. In London during the 1970s, he supported himself as an advertising copywriter while trying to become a novelist.
