British writer Salman Rushdie says he has started writing again. The 75-year-old author was made a Companion of Honour at Windsor Castle.
The Companion of Honor medal is "a special award given to those who have made a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine or government over a long period of time" The Order of the Companions of Honour can only have 65 living members at a time, the royal family's website says. The Indian-born intellectual, naturalized American and who lives in New York, spent his adolescence in Britain.
