Salman Rushdie got awarded another award, and I found this interesting answer:
"Do people make history, or does history make people?"
... "Fury came out on September 11, 2001," he said. "No one felt much like reading that day. What was written as a portrait of contemporary Manhattan ended up being a historical novel the very day it was released." He described reading what he had intended as a sharply satirical passage at a Manhattan bookstore after the attack. But the context had changed. "I got waves of nostalgia coming from the audience.""
