I'm only reading books by white men except for Rushdie
Some time ago, I took a solemn oath only to read novels by white men until the legacy publishing industry gets over its woke racism and starts publishing novels by white men again. This is a privation for me, as there are many excellent non-white authors whose works I would very much like to read. However, I think that it is important to take a stand against leukophobia in arts & culture.
An exception to my new regime arises in response to the attempted murder of Salman Rushdie by a primitive savage. I have bought The Satanic Verses, and have been reading it blatantly in public locations such as the Bristol Central Library.
