In 1989, Rushdie received a telephone call from a journalist who told the author that he had been "sentenced to death" by the Ayatollah Khomeini. So begins the extraordinary story of how a writer was forced underground, moving from house to house, with the constant presence of an armed police protection team.

Reviews
"A harrowing, deeply felt and revealing document: an autobiographical mirror of the big, philosophical preoccupations that have animated Mr. Rushdie's work throughout his career." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "A splendid book, the finest . . . memoir to cross my desk in many a year." --Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post "Thoughtful and astute . . . an important book." --USA Today "Compelling, affecting . . . demonstrates Mr. Rushdie's ability as a stylist and storytelle. . . . [He] reacted with great bravery and even heroism." --The Wall Street Journal "Gripping, moving and entertaining . . . nothing like it has ever been written." --The Independent (UK) "A thriller, an epic, a political essay, a love story, an ode to liberty." --Le Point (France) "Action-packed . . . in a literary class by itself . . . Like Isherwood, Rushdie's eye is a camera lens --firmly placed in one perspective and never out of focus." --Los Angeles Review of Books "Unflinchingly honest . . . an engrossing, exciting, revealing and often shocking book." -- de Volkskrant (The Netherlands) "One of the best memoirs you may ever read." -- DNA (India) "Extraordinary . . . Joseph Anton beautifully modulates between . . . moments of accidental hilarity, and the higher purpose Rushdie saw in opposing--at all costs--any curtailment on a writer's freedom." -- The Boston Globe, Praise for Salman Rushdie "Joseph Anton is a splendid book, the finest new memoir to cross my desk in many a year." -Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post "Rushdie's ideas-about society, about culture, about politics-are embedded in his stories and in the interlocking momentum with which he tells them. . . . All of Rushdie's synthesizing energy, the way he brings together ancient myth and old story, contemporary incident and archetypal emotion, transfigures reason into a waking dream." - Los Angeles Times Book Review "Everywhere [Rushdie] takes us there is both love and war, in strange and terrifying combinations, painted in swaying, swirling, world-eating prose that annihilates the borders between East and West, love and hate, private lives and the history they make." - Time "Swift in Gulliver's Travels, Voltaire in Candide, Sterne in Tristram Shandy . . . Salman Rushdie, it seems to me, is very much a latter-day member of their company." - The New York Times Book Review "The most original imagination writing today." -Nadine Gordimer, Praise for Salman Rushdie " Joseph Anton is a splendid book, the finest new memoir to cross my desk in many a year." -Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post "Rushdie's ideas-about society, about culture, about politics-are embedded in his stories and in the interlocking momentum with which he tells them. . . .

This is an important book not only because of what it has to say about a man of principle who, under the threat of violence and death, stood firm for freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but also because of its implications about our times and fanatical religious intolerance in a frighteningly fragile world." - USA Today (4 out of 4 stars) "Compelling, affecting . . . Joseph Anton demonstrates Mr. Rushdie's ability as a stylist and storyteller. . . . [He] reacted with great bravery and even heroism." - The Wall Street Journal "Joseph Anton beautifully modulates between such moments of accidental hilarity and the higher purpose Rushdie saw in opposing-at all costs-any curtailment on a writer's freedom to say what he or she wants." - The Boston Globe "Gripping."- Los Angeles Times Praise for Salman Rushdie "Rushdie's ideas-about society, about culture, about politics-are embedded in his stories and in the interlocking momentum with which he tells them. . . .
