K.M.Kaung's mini review of Joseph Anton - Salman Rushdie's memoir -

Oh, it is excellent - although written in 3rd person, somehow he manages to recall all the trauma and details of the fatwa period - and is completely honest in what he says about himself. It is amazing that he lived to tell the story and also managed to live a somewhat normal life through it all. Also the "normal" deaths among his close ones, while he under a fatwa survived.

Has the unerring eye and total recall of a born writer.
