FINALIST FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE
“An often-gripping account of a life turned upside down, and of a writer forced to confront the unintended consequences of his life’s work.” National Post
“A memoir...that reminds us of his fecund gift for language and his talent for explicating the psychological complexities of family and identity.... A harrowing, deeply felt and revealing document: an autobiographical mirror of the big, philosophical preoccupations that have animated Mr. Rushdie’s work throughout his career.” Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Book Review
“A fast-paced...monument so impressive it threatens to overshadow all the mere fictions on which his considerable reputation currently rests.... In the spectacular collision that is Joseph Anton...a great writer treats great events with unmatchable authority. And zest.... [Joseph Anton] could well prove to be the masterwork that survives long after the mere fictions have faded, as most are fated to do.” The Globe and Mail
“Joseph Anton is wonderful: as much a meditation on life, liberty and the pursuit of truth as an engrossing memoir.” Maclean’s
“Brutally honest and profound.” The Guardian
“Joseph Anton is a splendid book, the finest new memoir to cross my desk in many a year.” Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
