Beschreibung

<p><b>From the author of <i>The Satanic Verses</i> and <i>Midnight's Children</i> comes an unflinchingly honest and fiercely funny account of a life turned upside-down.</b><br><br> On Valentine's Day, 1989, Salman Rushdie received a telephone call from a BBC journalist that would change his life forever: Ayatollah Khomeini, a leading Muslim scholar, had issued him with a fatwa. This is his own account of how he was forced to live in hiding for over a decade; at once intimate and explosive, this is the personal tale behind the international story.<br><br> <b>In <i>Joseph Anton</i>, Rushdie tells the remarkable story of one of the crucial battles, in our time, for freedom of speech.</b><br><br> <b>Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Biography Prize</b></p>
