PEN America On 
Managed to borrow Satanic Verses on holiday from #AlderneyLibrary having heard @DrAmandaForeman on @BBCr4today 2 read in support @PENamerica #StandWithSalman #FreedomOfExpression
Wishing you a speedy recovery, @SalmanRushdie. Your novels and your commitment to free speech continue to inspire the world. As a @PENamerica member, I am proud to #StandWithSalman today and every day.
Powerful readings of Salman Rushdie's work at today's @PENAmerica @nypl event. With free expression under attack, we must defend the freedom to write. #StandWithSalman
