Salman Rushdie gave autographs at the Dacia stand of the Gaudeamus Book Fair

Over 500 people queued for autographs from British-Indian novelist Salman Rushdie at the Dacia stand of the International Gaudeamus Fair. 

The autograph session was the last of the public events occasioned by Salman Rushdie’s visit in Romania, at the initiative taken by Polirom Publishing. The writer spent more than two hours in the company of his admirers and he even arrived at Dacia’s stand earlier than scheduled. He thanked the large audience and the Romanian people for the warm and generous welcome they offered him, which turned his stay into a very pleasant experience.
