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.
