Salamon Rushdie's Timing

[Thailandnotes]

"The chilling reality of life under the fatwa is detailed in Rushdie’s new memoir, Joseph Anton, the title taken from the identity he used while in hiding, an amalgamation of his favourite writers, Joseph Conrad and Anton Chekov. An extract was published this week in the New Yorker, prior to its British publication on Tuesday. His timing is apt as, once again, people are dying for having insulted the Prophet Mohammad, or, to be more precise, for being the same nationality as those so accused."

Sorry about misspelling his name.
