Joseph Anton

A Memoir
Book • 2012
In 'Joseph Anton: A Memoir', Salman Rushdie recounts his life under the pseudonym Joseph Anton, a name derived from his favorite writers Joseph Conrad and Anton Chekhov.

The memoir describes his period in hiding due to the fatwa issued after the publication of 'The Satanic Verses', detailing the grim and sometimes comic realities of living with armed police protection, his relationships, and his fight for freedom of speech.

Written in the third person, the book provides an intimate and explosive account of Rushdie's personal and public struggles during this period.
