NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie, a searing, deeply personal account of enduringand survivingan attempt on his life thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against him
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, Time, NPR, Town & Country, New York Post, Chicago Public Library, Kirkus Reviews
On the morning of August 12, 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in blackblack clothes, black maskrushed down the aisle toward him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So its you. Here you are.
What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond. Now, for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, Rushdie relives the traumatic events of that day and its aftermath, as well as his journey toward physical recovery and the healing that was made possible by the love and support of his wife, Eliza, his family, his army of doctors and physical therapists, and his community of readers worldwide.
Knife is Rushdie at the peak of his powers, writing with urgency, with gravity, with unflinching honesty. It is also a deeply moving reminder of literatures capacity to make sense of the unthinkable, an intimate and life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, artand finding the strength to stand up again.
