East, West by Salman Rushdie
This is the first book I've read by Mr. Rushdie and enjoyed the collection of short stories. It's organized by having 3 each under the sections East, West and East, West. I've always thought of Salman as one of the great intellectuals of our day so I was pleasantly surprised by some playful stories. All of them were deep & often profound but they were all fun in their own ways. I loved the story The Prophet's Hair a story surrounding the luck that falls on whoever owns a strand of hair of the Prophet Mohammed. Another one of my favorites was Chekov And Zulu as spy story and he left what I think is the most profound story for the end The Courter. Great collection of stories!
