Esse palco faz lembrar muito do Teatro da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife. Eu estou aqui afinando meu inglês por meio deste podcast.
The last story was hard to follow..
my first interpretation of your comment
was that the story was disjointed, awkward, etc.,
second interpretation,
the story was so good, how could you follow that?
I NEED TO KNOW THE 2ND FEMALE SPEAKERS NAME
Hello teman....
Did they ever find the Chinese writer?
This talks has a evidence that I don't think so. Its thing that we have is clear thinking.
Free speech
The sound on this recording is atrocious. Big echo-y room that distorts voices, microphone placed in such a way as to amplify the applause to an uncomfortable decibel level...I can' listen to this on my desktop PC.
nonsense
Chinese Communist Party much?
The host presents so pompously. An irritating individual.
He's British. Do Brits seem pompous? Curious Brit here!
Malicity D'Obscuro Depends on the class so often yes. However, I didn’t perceive Rushdie as pompous. He laughed and smiled a lot, when he wasn’t being serious about the cause.
@@DreamingCatStudio My thoughts exactly!
He is one of the world's leading intellectuals maybe that appearance just comes with the territory. I found him surprisingly self-effacing.
Free speech?
Boring Rushdi aside, some good stories.
Wow.....you think the purpose of this reading, helping writers being targeted and prosecuted wrongly by totalitarian, power-mad, corrupt governments is "boring". You must be so proud of yourself.
@@greeneyedwarlock882
well, he's a writer & this is Moth, u know,
speaking....& his style kind of flows better on the page?
interesting that Rushdie was targeted for offending certain Shia Muslim leaders
& yet is speaking out against Chinas targeting of, among others, Uyghurs, who are Muslims.
