■ Book review
Popes book ‘Memory and Identity’
based on conversations with friends
BYVICTOR L. SIMPSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROME — An Italian publishing
house gathered Rome's glitterati
Tuesdayforthe official launch of
Pope John Paul M's new book, hop
ing the work that includes his first
public description of the moments
after he was shot can become an in
ternational bestseller.
Top prelates sat side-by-side with
politicians, industrialists and titled no
bility for the event in the Palazzo
Colonna, which was built by a
15th century pope.
The Rizzoli publishing house, which
holds the worldwide rights, announced
thatthe book "Memory and Identity"
would come out in 14 editions
in 11 languages overthe next
few months.
Papal spokesman Joaquin Navar
ro-Valls confirmed that John Paul's
description of his ride in an ambu
lance after being shot by a Turkish
gunman in 1981 had not been made
public before.
The book, a copy of which was ob
tained Feb. 17 by The Associated Press
in Poland, is based on conversations
the pope had in Polish with his close
friends, philosopher Krzysztof
Michalski and the late Rev. Jozef Tis
chner in 1993 atthe papal summer resi
dence near Rome.
A German Jewish leader criticized
one passage in the book, saying the
pope was making an unacceptable
comparison between abortion and
the Holocaust.
Paul Spiegel, the head of Ger
many's Central Council of Jews,
pointed to the pope's contention that
both the Holocaust and abortion
came about when people decided to
usurp "the law of God."
The book is John Paul's fifth.
Royalties from the books go to charity.
