Salman Rushdie on gender, fake news and Trump - BBC Newsnight

In his latest book, The Golden House, Salman Rushdie describes an Indian family fleeing to a new life in America. It's a novel that explores and explodes identity - of race and gender, and it's a novel that begins in the era of Obama and ends in the era of Trump. He speaks to Emily Maitlis. Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
