'Gerade jetzt muss man Salman Rushdies Autobiografie lesen. Sie lehrt, dass man den Mob widerstehen muss.' Welt am Sonntag Was bedeutet es für einen Schriftsteller, über neun Jahre lang mit einer Morddrohung zu leben? Wie fest hat die Verzweiflung sein Denken und Handeln im Griff? Zum ersten Mal erzählt Salman Rushdie seine beeindruckende Geschichte; es ist die Geschichte eines Kampfes: dem Kampf um die Meinungsfreiheit. Rushdie erzählt vom teils bitteren, teils komischen Leben unter bewaffnetem Polizeischutz; von den engen Beziehungen, die er zu seinen Beschützern knüpfte; von seinem Ringen um Unterstützung und Verständnis bei Regierungen, Verlegern und Schriftstellerkollegen; und davon, wie er seine Freiheit wiedererlangte. Salman Rushdie erhält den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels 2023 »für seine Unbeugsamkeit, seine Lebensbejahung und dafür, dass er mit seiner Erzählfreude die Welt bereichert.« (Aus der Begründung der Jury
