Publisher Synopsis
"Joseph Anton conveys a clear and shaming picture of his ordeal... The reader is fully on Rushdie's side" -- Pankaj Mishra * Guardian * "[C]ompelling, affecting... Joseph Anton demonstrates Mr. Rushdie's ability as a stylist and storyteller. It also serves as an important moral balance sheet... Defenders of Enlightenment values, regardless of what they think of Mr. Rushdie the novelist, must acknowledge the fact that, when threatened, Salman Rushdie-Joseph Anton-reacted with great bravery and even heroism" -- Michael C Moynihan * Wall Street Journal * "Joseph Anton...reminds us of his fecund gift for language and his talent for explicating the psychological complexities of family and identity... [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, from the collision of the private and the political in today's interconnected world to the permeable boundaries between life and art, reality and the imagination" -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times * "Joseph Anton is a splendid book, the finest new memoir to cross my desk in many a year" -- Jonathan Yardley * Washington Post * "A frank and zestful memoir...a precious historical document and an immersive page-turning read...pacey, intimate, surreal, whipped along by love and scorn and overflowing with tall tales...it exerts a mesmeric hold with high-octane storytelling" -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent * Read more...
