In his elegiac new collection of stories – his first fiction since a 2022 attack that nearly killed him – acclaimed novelist Salman Rushie writes of intimate encounters with death, ghosts, magic, and the immutable passage of time.
Salman Rushdie describes what he saw in the moments before he was attacked at a literary festival in Chautauqua, New York.
Salman Rushdie's message to his assailant: "Our lives touched each other for an instant and then separated. Mine has improved since that day, while yours has deteriorated."
"The lips of the man in the mirror do not move. There is a slash across the top of his forehead," Salman Rushdie writes in his book "Knife."
After being stabbed 15 times, Salman Rushdie's face was slashed open. In his new book "Knife," he says his face looked like "a sci-fi movie special effect."
"There was the knife in the eye. That was the cruellest blow, and it was a deep wound. The blade went in all the way to the optic nerve, which meant there would be no possibility of saving the vision. It was gone," says Salman Rushdie.
"I do not want to use his name in this account," author Salman Rushdie said of his assailant. In his new book "Knife" he refers to the attacker as "the A."
"There was nothing supernatural about it. No 'tunnel of light.' No feeling of rising out of my body," says Salman Rushdie, describing his near-death experience in 2022 in his new book "Knife."
"I would answer violence with art," says author Salman Rushdie. He felt he needed to write "Knife" to own what happened – refusing to be a mere victim.
