![]() ![]() ![]() “Joseph Anton” is not just about a man who was in hiding from another man’s followers who were determined to hunt him down (as though he was an animal) and kill him, because of what he had written in his book (which the perpetrators hadn’t even read and never would). What was different about it? Why did I read it twice and enjoy it more so the second time? Strange, I thought, to myself: I cannot read the man’s fictional works but can breeze through this memoir and that too twice. I started reading, “Joseph Anton”, his memoir about a week ago and I have read it twice since then. That is the relationship I share with Salman Rushdie’s books. I haven’t been able to cross the hundredth page. ![]() So I have a confession to make: I have not been able to complete a single Rushdie novel, except for Haroun and the Sea of Stories and I am not ashamed of it, only because I have tried reading his works time and again. ![]()
