You're Not in Kansas Anymore, Thank God

At the New Yorker Festival, Salman Rushdie and Orhan Pamuk discussed the concept of home. Rushdie said that in The Wizard of Oz the only words he disagreed with were "There's no place like home."

Rushdie: "[In the story] it felt like the lesson [Dorothy] needed to learn was that she didn't need to leave home at all. Rubbish! There was nothing going on in Kansas."
