Praise

“A splendid book, the finest . . . memoir to cross my desk in many a year.”—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
 
“Action-packed . . . in a literary class by itself . . . Like Isherwood, Rushdie’s eye is a camera lens—firmly placed in one perspective and never out of focus. Instead it is the world that it photographs—a world temporarily gone mad—that shifts, blurs, sharpens and changes with a dizzying swiftness.” Los Angeles Review of Books
 
“Extraordinary . . . Joseph Anton beautifully modulates between [moments] of accidental hilarity, and the higher purpose Rushdie saw in opposing—at all costs—any curtailment on a writer’s freedom to say what he or she wants.”The Boston Globe

“A gripping, firsthand account of an important battle for artistic freedom.”Los Angeles Times

“Compelling, affecting . . . demonstrates Mr. Rushdie’s ability as a stylist and storyteller. . . . [He] reacted with great bravery and even heroism.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Gripping, moving and entertaining . . . nothing like it has ever been written.”—The Independent (UK)

“A thriller, an epic, a political essay, a love story, an ode to liberty.”—Le Point (France)

“Unflinchingly honest . . . an engrossing, exciting, revealing and often shocking book.”de Volkskrant (The Netherlands)

“One of the best memoirs you may ever read.”DNA (India)
