Salman Rushdie

Charlie Hebdo’s editor-in-chief, Stephane “Charb” Charbonnier, certainly knew he was a marked man. Al-Qaeda even put his name on a hit list.

Who says we are all Charlie? Not Sandip Roy. Or Jeffrey Goldberg. Or, um, the Financial Times.

Writer and musician Alina Simone loved the comforting anonymity of her adopted name — until she met another woman with the same name.

Salman Rushdie knows what it’s like to be a wanted man. After he published his novel The Satanic Verses, the leader of Iran issued a call for his death. Rushdie went into hiding, with armed guards protecting him at all times. He’s telling that story now in his new book, Joseph Anton: A Memoir.
