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.
