salman rushdie is on my list of sff authors as well, though certainly not squarely in the "science fiction" bucket. but that bucket leaks like mad anyway :). generally i am more comfortable putting him into the "speculative fiction" category; he writes a mixture of fable, fantasy, science fiction, magical realism, social commentary.

and yeah, i imagine he reads SF; i heard (pure rumour) his first novel grimus was written originally for an SF contest.

Oh yes it does. And a good thing, too, because it gets a lot poured into it from a lot of directions.
