[edit] The Function Of Literary Critics
Rushdie believes that critics serve a purpose in exposing the rest of us to books that are out there in the world for us to read. That's Oprah's job, but Salman does not believe in Oprah.
Writers bitch about critics, but need them, like a ho needs her pimp.
Rushdie also doesn't believe in the Market either.
