We are not all Salman Rushdie (UnHerd)

Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.” It's a quote that bobs along the supposedly inspirational ...

It is the sea by which I was born, and which I carry within me wherever I go.” Yet there is something profoundly dispiriting to see an industry that was in the avant-garde for most of the 20th century volunteering to become its own censor. Genuine unorthodox views are increasingly censored, and what it takes to be permanently suspended from Twitter or receive a call to your door from the police under disturbingly broad hate crime grounds appears ever expanding. You can’t slice it up otherwise it ceases to be freedom.’” By seeking safety, the danger is that publishers have been moving increasingly towards irrelevance and vulnerability. Puritanism now comes couched in the language of protection, which, in fact, was always part of the excuse for shutting down certain thoughts and marking certain lives as obscene. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela use the same three-word phrase which in my mind says it all, which is, ‘Freedom is indivisible. With the exception of indie presses, which do much of the talent-spotting and grass roots development for the industry, and the occasional adventurous imprint, publishers have largely pursued a path of acquiescence, rendering themselves increasingly detached from a world that has more stories to tell, issues to face and places to explore than ever. Writing and publishing may seem insignificant compared to the loss and mutilation of life that has transpired since the fatwa was declared against Rushdie. In a sense, Rushdie was doing what writers of note have always done – he was venturing out and testing, whether intentionally or not, how sturdy the ice was underfoot. Yet the world of literature has some impact on the climate in which we all live, think and speak. The seeds of an essentialism by which we are increasingly bound (“You are for us or against us”) took root. The more one dwells on the quote, the more troubling it becomes.
