Rushdie & Moyers on PBS "Faith & Reason"

I am reading this transcript of Bill Moyer's interview with Salman Rushdie on the "Faith and Reason" series.


 


http://www.pbs.org/moyers/print/faithandreason101_print.html


 


The whole series of interviews, with various notables, seems to be available in transcript form, as well as streaming video.


 


As I read the transcript, I am shocked by the frequency with which Salm Rushdie says "you know." Perhaps he is nervous on camera.
