Joseph Anton by Salman Rushdie Summary
Overview of Joseph Anton
When Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" triggered a death sentence from Iran's Ayatollah, he vanished into "Joseph Anton" - his pseudonym and memoir of nine years in hiding. What price for free expression? The book Michiko Kakutani called "a palpable sense" of living under fatwa.

Living Under the Shadow of Death
On Valentine's Day 1989, a BBC reporter asked Salman Rushdie how it felt to be sentenced to death by Ayatollah Khomeini. "It doesn't feel good," he replied simply, while thinking, "I'm a dead man." This moment marked the beginning of an extraordinary saga - a novelist forced underground for over a decade, protected by armed guards, his very existence becoming a symbol in the global conflict between religious extremism and freedom of expression. "Joseph Anton" - Rushdie's alias during hiding, combining the names of Joseph Conrad and Anton Chekhov - chronicles this astonishing journey. Despite its grave subject matter, the memoir maintains Rushdie's characteristic wit and literary flair, offering both a political thriller and a deeply personal account of a writer determined to reclaim his life and identity.
