Joseph Anton

A Memoir

Salman Rushdie

This memoir recounts the story of a writer forced into hiding after being sentenced to death for his alleged blasphemy against Islam. The account follows his struggle to keep working and maintain his familial relationships, all under the constant threat of assassination. The memoir also covers his bonds with his protectors and his fight for freedom of speech. Praised for its exceptional honesty, the book is "compelling, affecting, entertaining," and "extraordinary."
