From 1973 to 1994, anthropologist Edwin Wilmsen lived & worked among the Zhu, Mbanduru & Tswana people of the Kalahari desert in southern Africa. Thousands of miles from his home, immersed in what first seemed a radically different place & operating in languages he initially did not underst&, he began a record of his impressions & reflections as a complement to his scientific fieldwork. This book weaves together the multilayered experiences of his life among these Kalahari people, capturing the intellectual challenges an anthropologist faces in the field, & the myriad & strange ways that unfamiliar experiences come to resonate with deeply personal thoughts & recollections. Combining biography, poetry & anthropology, Wilmsen portrays the intense realities of life in the Kalahari & carries the reader across space & time as events in the present trigger emotions & memories. Images of apartheid, for example, evoke memories of Wilmsen`s childhood in the segregated South. Poems, journal entries & accounts of deepening personal relationships all intertwine as Wilmsen conveys the experiences he shares with his ”subjects” in spite of vast differences in their backgrounds
- extreme thirst under the desert sun, grief over the death of a child & the constant irritation of ubiquitous flies.

From the author of The Satanic Verses & Midnight`s Children, which was awarded the Best of the Booker Prize in 1993, comes an unflinchingly honest & fiercely funny account of a life turned upside-down. On Valentine`s Day, 1989, Salman Rushdie received a telephone call from a BBC journalist that would change his life forever: Ayatollah Khomeini, a leading Muslim scholar, had issued him with a death sentence. This is his own account of how he was forced to live in hiding for over a decade; at once intimate & explosive, this is the personal tale behind the international story. How does a man live with the constant threat of murder? How does he continue to work when deprived of his freedom? How does he sustain friendships, or fall in & out of love? How does he fight back? For over a decade, Salman Rushdie dwelt in a world of secrecy & disguise, a world of security guards & armoured cars, of aliases & code names. In Joseph Anton, Rushdie tells the remarkable story of one of the crucial battles, in our time, for freedom of speech. It is shortlisted for the James Tait Black Biography Prize. ...
