Riwaya na mashairi

“A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars.”

~Salman Rushdie. Huyu mdau amenisurika kuuliwa na utawala wa ayatollah wa Iran miaka ile ya 80 baada ya kuandika riwaya inayoukashifu uislamu inayoitwa SATANIC VERSE.
