Salman Rushdie and Multiple Identities. Northern Ireland: Border Country. Two Books by Roxana Marinescu

Summary/Abstract: Think Salman Rushdie. Think Northern Ireland. In addition to being able to attract Roxana Marinescu's creative curiosity, what do they have in common? Think borders and think multiple identities. Identity is about what makes something what it is. Borders define where things begin and end. They are for defining who is in and who is out. And so with identities: they define what does and doesn't make someone who she or he is. So, what does and doesn't make Rushdie who he is? When is he this and when is he that? And why? And as for Rushdie, so for Northern Ireland. What does and doesn't make it the country it is? Where has it come from? Where is it now? Where may it go? These are only some of the questions Marinescu has raised and tentatively answered and suggested we think about.
