Joseph Anton : A Memoir - Salman Rushdie

Yesterday, Salman Rushdie released his new book, A Memoir: Joseph Anton.

After his book The Satanic Verses was published, as some might remember, he was sentenced to death with a fatwa by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, on Valentine’s Day in 1989.

The book was found highly offensive to Islam by many. However, he described The Satanic Verses as his least political book, “…an artistic engagement with the phenomenon of revelation.”
