Such a brilliant and thoughtful writer.

No offence to Salman Rushdie but if Rushdie had written something silly about the holocaust would the Library of Congress have felicitated him this way?

What a fantastically stupid comment, "if remarkably prescient and brilliant writer had instead written bad books, would we celebrate him?"
