Fear of fatwas
The Bookseller (via) is reporting that a feature-length documentary marking the 20th anniversary of the publication of The Satanic Verses and the fatwa on author Sir Salman Rushdie is struggling to persuade some of those involved in the original publication to take part.
The Guardian quotes a publishing source as saying: “Most of the core people involved feel very strongly even today that they should keep quiet on any matters relating to The Satanic Verses and that it was enough that the hardcover [of the book] was kept in print throughout.”
