Salman Rushdie on Being Violently Attacked and the Love That Healed Him
In August 2022, a young American man with a knife viciously attacked Salman Rushdie in Chautauqua, New York, as he was about to speak about the issue of safety for writers. Rushdie nearly died. He has written about the attack and the love that helped him triumph over death in a new memoir, “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder.”
