Over the course of a decade, Salman Rushdie moved house 56 times and survived 20 assassination attempts. His Japanese translator and a moderate imam were not so lucky: both were murdered for being sympathetic to the novelist. 

In this feature-length retrospective, the writer reflects with humour on some of the most difficult years of his life, and his enduring love of literature.

Presented via RTÉ's innovative content agreement with ARTE, the European culture TV channel.
