What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed, With Dustwrapper

This signed first edition of acclaimed author Salman Rushdie's third person memoir 'Joseph Anton' chronicles Rushdie's time whilst in hiding following the fatwa issued after the publication of 'The Satanic Verses', as well as discussing aspects of his personal life including his friendship with other writers and the acrimonious break up of his second marriage. Rushdie's 'The Satanic Verses' was inspired by the life of Muhammad , with some Muslim groups accusing him of blasphemy and mocking their faith, leading to a fatwa calling for his assassination. First edition, in unclipped dustwrapper. Author's signature to title page. An insightful autobiographical work, Rushdie's 'Joseph Anton' is exceptionally frank, compelling and provocative.
