We are hereby calling for a \u00bbWorldwide Reading\u00ab of Salman Rushdie\u2019s works. Please see below. Many authors from all continents support the call, including Adonis, Jennifer Clement, Andrei Kurkov, Wole Soyinka, Janne Teller, Bernard-Henri Levy, Peter Schneider, Amir Hassan Cheheltan, Robert Hass and Sergei Lebjedev. The author Madame Nielsen also suggested that we carry \u00bbThe Satanic Verses\u00ab with us everywhere in public spaces until September 29, and that we open and read the book everywhere, in cafes, parks, subways. Elfriede Jelinek encourages authors to place excerpts on their own websites if the rights can be acquired. We thank Richard Herzinger for drafting the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely,<br>Ulrich Schreiber<br>Festival Director and Head of Program<br>international literature festival berlin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The international literature festival berlin [ilb] invites individuals, schools, universities, cultural institutions and media to participate in a \u00bbWorldwide Reading\u00ab of Salman Rushdie\u2019s works \u2013 from\u202f\u00bbMidnight\u2019s Children\u00ab, \u00bbThe Satanic Verses\u00ab, \u00bbJoseph Anton\u00ab to his latest book \u00bbLanguages of Truth\u00ab \u2013 on September 29, 2022. The reading is intended to send a signal for the freedom of literature and public speech as well as the solidarity with the author, who was the victim of a horrific assassination attempt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the concrete background of the assassination attempt and the motive of the perpetrator have not yet been clarified, it appears to be evident who is responsible: It goes back to the fatwa that the Iranian \u00bbrevolutionary leader\u00ab Ayatollah Khomeini issued against Rushdie in 1989. It called for the killing of the Indian-born, British writer because he had supposedly insulted the Islam, the Qur\u2019an and the Prophet Muhammad with \u00bbThe Satanic Verses.\u00ab To this day, the Iranian regime has not withdrawn the call to kill the author, just as it has not withdrawn the bounty it placed on his head at the time. The important media in Iran are currently applauding the attacker.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, Salman Rushdie therefore had to live under intensive police protection. For more than 20 years, it was assumed that there was no longer any danger to his life. But this assumption has been shockingly proven wrong by the bloody attack in New York. It proves that the threat to elementary human rights and freedoms remains constant. Moreover, the attack on Rushdie comes at a time when the democratic world is being forced into the defensive by increasingly aggressive authoritarian powers of various kinds, if not \u2013 as in Ukraine \u2013 it is overrun with death and destruction through open war and an incredible range of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is therefore absolutely urgent to stand up firmly and defend law and human dignity. By reading Salman Rushdie\u2019s novels and essays, freedom-loving people all over the world can send a signal that they will not be intimidated by threats of violence and will not bow to any attempt to suppress or annihilate thoughts expressed in speech, writing and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readings can take place anywhere, even privately in a small circle, in a school, in a cultural institution or on the radio. People and institutions who would like to participate with a reading on September 29, 2022 are asked to send us the following information: Organizers, location, time, participating actors, event language, link to your website if applicable. The e-mail address is: worldwidereading@literaturfestival.com. We kindly ask organizers to clear the rights for readings on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signed by<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adonis, France\/ Syria<br>Ghayath Almadhoun, Palestine\/ Sweden<br>Martin Amis, UK\/ USA<br>Frank Mackay Anim-Appiah, Ghana<br>Mahnaz Badihian, USA<br>Anneke Brassinga, Netherlands<br>Brian Brett, Canada<br>Breyten Breytenbach, South Africa<br>Simone Buchholz, Germany<br>Maite Carranza, Spain<br>Amir Cheheltan, Iran<br>Don Mee Choi, South Korea\/ USA<br>Moon Chung-hee, South Korea<br>Jennifer Clement, USA\/ Mexico<br>J.P.
