Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi AliThis week's New York magazine profiles Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of Infidel. In case you're unfamiliar:

"She escaped to Holland from a forced marriage, eventually joined the Dutch Parliament as a Muslim criticizing her own culture, and made a provocative film with Theo van Gogh that got him killed and sent her into hiding."

Very Short List describes the book as Salman Rushdie meets Gloria Steinem meets Iman.

A recommended memoir.
