These are the only reports of Salman Rushdie's being knighted that I found in the newspapers I read regularly. I am sure there will be more reports and features soon. I am dozing off as I wonder what the implications of this royal attention to literature in chutnified English, and of Rushdie's acceptance, are. But we will hear about that in the press shortly, anyway.
