Summary:
Beginning in 1989, Salman Rushdie spent ten years of his life underground, hiding from Islamic assassins - for the sin of writing a book. Throughout his ordeal, Rushdie kept writing, and emerged in public when Ayatollah Khomeini died. In 2006, as president of the PEN American center--PEN stands for the organization of poets, essayists, and novelists--that works worldwide for freedom of speech and conscience. Before leaving office Rushdie brought over one hundred writers together for a public discussion about what he calls 'the hot-button issue' of the day, faith and reason.
