Satanic Verses author refuses to back down after being accused of using ‘McCarthy era’ language in attack on six writers who withdrew from PEN gala over award to satirical magazineSalman Rushdie and Francine Prose have clashed publicly on Facebook over Charlie Hebdo, with the author of The Satanic Verses telling Prose that “our fellow artists were murdered for their ideas and you won’t stand up for them”, and that “I hope that our long alliance can survive this. But I fear some old friendships will break on this wheel.”Prose took to Facebook to elaborate on her decision to withdraw from next week’s PEN gala in New York over the free speech organisation’s decision to present the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo with the PEN/Toni and James C Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award. Twelve people were murdered by gunmen at the magazine’s offices earlier this year, and PEN’s American branch has said that it “deserves to be recognised for its dauntlessness in the face of one of the most noxious assaults on expression in recent memory”.
