The Center for Inquiry-DC and Politics & Prose Bookstore present
Salman Rushdie - Joseph Anton: A Memoir

Salman Rushdie will be in conversation with Robert Siegel, host of NPR’s “All Things Considered.”

The Booker Prize-winning former president of American PEN shares the extraordinary story of how he was forced underground for more than nine years after he was sentenced to holy death by the Ayatollah Khomeini for his controversial novel, The Satanic Verses, describing how his family and he constantly moved and were under police protection in a dangerous life at the forefront of the battle for free speech.

The event will have reserved seating and include a book signing.

All books purchased will be available at Will Call on the evening of the event.
