Description
This sweeping memoir recounts Salman Rushdie’s years in hiding under a death threat issued after the publication of *The Satanic Verses*, tracing the personal, political, and cultural consequences of defending artistic freedom. Writing under the code name “Joseph Anton,” Rushdie reflects on the loss of privacy, strained relationships, constant security, and the unexpected acts of courage and solidarity that sustained him. At once intimate and defiant, the book explores censorship, faith, identity, love, and the enduring cost of free expression. It is a vivid account of a writer’s life transformed by controversy—and of his refusal to surrender his voice.
