The Rushdie Affair
The introduction states that this book was written in three months, and it shows. It reads like a first draft -- albeit a heavily footnoted and annotated first draft. The prose is drier than the Sahara. At first I thought, "Okay. So, it's a journalist on Quaaludes. I can deal with that." But then on page 49, out of nowhere, the author starts to personally attack Rushdie, calling him a spoiled intellectual and a hypocrite.
That's when I could see where this was going. I wasn't going along with it, so I gave up.
No stars for this crap.
