摘要

This paper looks into Salman Rushdie's latest book, his memoir titled Joseph Anton . Rushdie put off writing his story of the fatwa years until September, 2012, when Joseph Anton came out. The title is a conflation of the first names of two writers, Rushdie's favourite authors: Joseph after Joseph Conrad, and Anton after Anton Chekhov. Before being a title, this used to be Rushdie's pseudonym when he had to recede into a fictional character during the period he spent in hiding. Rushdie argues that in Joseph Anton he wrote about himself novelistically in the third person, putting a distance between his real self and himself as a character, through fiction. I purport to explore to what extent and in what sense Rushdie's memoir is fiction, and also what distinguishes it from a novel. According to Rushdie, unlike fiction, the book's arc was clear even before being written: the author knew its first and last scenes. Fiction shapes it in the same way as memory shapes and re-shapes life. Does that mean that literature is a form of escapism? Nothing would be more false, if we asked Rushdie, who has always considered writing a political act, because “we are radioactive with history and politics.” After its publication, a book is at the hands of readers. It is in this sense that books speak to us, being a form of communication. This study probes into how Joseph Anton has started to fare, and what it is likely to stir in readers who read about “a teller of tales, a creator of shapes, a maker of things that were not.”.
