Rushdie has authored 11 novels, including “The Satanic Verses”, which resulted in a fatwa being issued against him by the Ayatollah Khomeini because of the book’s take on the prophet Muhammad.

Emory University also houses Rushdie’s literary archive containing computer files, journals, manuscripts and other items related to the author’s work.
