Video recording of an interview with Salman Rushdie, celebrated Indian-born British writer. Rushdie talks about his early love for reading, his Indian childhood and his father, who told stories to him instead of reading them out loud; his early attempts at writing,  about the years of hiding, his relationship to his son and how reading and literature helped him through those dark years. Rushdie ends by reflecting about his autobiographical book Joseph Anton: A Memoir.
