"Who is ‘our’? Who is ‘they’? Who is ‘we’?" @ziajaffrey #IndiaAt75
Join us Friday August 19:
One week after the brutal attack on author @SalmanRushdie, the NY literary community is rallying in solidarity and presenting public readings from Rushdie's works on the steps of @nypl on 5th Avenue.
#StandWithSalman. Details: https://pen.org/event/stand-with-salman/
