April 16, 2024

British-American author Salman Rushdie releases his memoir “Knife”, recounting the harrowing experience of being stabbed at a public event in 2022 and how he overcame the near-fatal ordeal.
Rushdie lost sight in one eye after the attack by a knife-wielding assailant, who jumped on stage at an arts gathering in New York state.
The Indian-born author, a naturalized American based in New York, has faced death threats since his 1988 novel “The Satanic Verses” was declared blasphemous by Iran’s supreme leader.
Rushdie was born in Mumbai but moved to England as a boy, was propelled into the spotlight with his second novel “Midnight’s Children” in 1981.
