Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
A searing, and deeply personal account of enduring a brutal attempt on his life, thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against him, from internationally renowned writer and Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie.
Writing with urgency, gravity, and unflinching honesty, Knife is an extremely moving reminder of literature's capacity to make sense of the unthinkable, an intimate and life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art, and finding the strength to stand up again.
“Rushdie’s triumph is not to be other: despite his terrible injuries and the threat he still lives under, he remains incorrigibly himself, as passionate as ever about art and free speech.” -- The Guardian
