It was the first time Rushdie heard the word fatwa. His crime? Writing a novel, The Satanic Verses, which was accused of being "against Islam, the Prophet, and the Quran." So begins the extraordinary story of how a writer was forced underground for more than nine years, moving from house to house, with the constant presence of an armed police protection team. Asked to choose an alias that the police could use, he thought of combinations of the names of writers he loved: Conrad and Chekhov: Joseph Anton. How do a writer and his family live with the threat of murder for over nine years? How does he go on working? How does despair shape his thoughts and actions, and how does he learn to fight back? In this memoir, Rushdie tells for the first time the story of his crucial battle for freedom of speech. He shares the sometimes grim, sometimes comic realities of living with armed policemen, and the close bonds he formed with his protectors; of his struggle for support and understanding from governments, intelligence chiefs, publishers, journalists, and fellow writers; and of how he regained his freedom. What happened to Salman Rushdie was the first act of a drama that is still unfolding.--From publisher description. 600 10 Rushdie, Salman|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80146294|xCensorship.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99004926 600 17 Rushdie, Salman.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/63803 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Authors, English|y20th century|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101063 650 0 Authors, Indic|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85009925|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79023147-781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Fatwas|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85047475 |vPersonal narratives.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001714 650 0 Protective custody|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2005003123|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|vPersonal narratives. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001714 650 0 Islam and literature|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85068417|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Blasphemy (Islam)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85014787|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Freedom of the press|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85051711|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Censorship.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/850568 650 7 Authors, English.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 821945 650 7 Authors, Indic.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/822111 650 7 Fatwas.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/921976 650 7 Protective custody.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1737446 650 7 Islam and literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 979875 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Blasphemy (Islam)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 834151 650 7 Freedom of the press.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 934063 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Personal narratives.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423843 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919894 655 7 Personal narratives.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026142 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 572438 948 |d20121019|cMH|tconsult overlay cnedit|lridm|v1 994 C0|bRID
