I am so glad Rushdie wrote this memoir of his years in hiding. All those years I (among millions no doubt) felt real sympathy for his predicament. The reality of living like that was way beyond anything I could have imagined. Some commenters have criticized his soft-pedaling of some of his own behavior. I'd like to see an autobiography or memoir that *doesn't* do that to some extent, and I think Rushdie was fairly honest compared to many. I love his non-fiction writing and this was a treat.
