So apparently Rushdie isn’t “Scruffy” after all. While the writer me is relieved on Sir Salman’s behalf, this makes the Bookninja me kind of sad. It was like an extra birthday, when I heard that. Oooh! A gift!? For me?!
Rushdie’s lawyer Mark Stephens said today that the authors of the book now “accepted that much of the story published in the Mail on Sunday was false”. He said that Evans had been “over-egging” his position at the time: “He was a police driver making out he was an armed special protection officer,” he said.
Stephens added that Rushdie had made no requests for damages, nor for any changes in opinions in the book, merely for “the falsehoods” to be changed. “The authors have admitted that there were falsehoods in the original manuscript and have made amendments accordingly,” he said.
