Review title: The fatwa was personal
Product review: Anyone amazed that this textually playful meta-novel earned the author a death sentence from the Ayatollah Khomeini need look no further than the first part of the segment entitled "Ayesha". It portrays an exiled Islamic cleric, the Imam, who surrounds himself with bodyguards to avoid seeing London (where he lives). Upon his return to his homeland, he metamorphoses into a man-eating monster. That this segment is a thinly veiled comment on Khomeini himself (who was exiled in London during the reign of the Shah) should be obvious to anyone. The (ultimately rather respectful) portrayal of the prophet Mohammed merely provided a useful cover for the Ayatollah's childish revenge on Rushdie for his satire.
