Rushdie

Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie has revealed the decision behind not naming his would-be assassin in his new memoir 'Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder' was to rob him of "the oxygen of publicity".

British-American author Salman Rushdie recounts the near-fatal stabbing at a public event in 2022 that left him blind in one eye and his journey to healing in his new memoir "Knife," which hits stores Tuesday.

Mumbai-born Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie has spoken in detail about the moment he was attacked by a man with a knife on a stage in New York in 2022

British-American author Salman Rushdie releases his memoir "Knife" on Tuesday, recounting the harrowing experience of being stabbed at a public event in 2022 and how he overcame the near-fatal ordeal.

Salman Rushdie's answer to violence is art as the author's memoir about the knife attack he faced in 2022 is now set to hit the stands on April 16, publisher Penguin Random House India announced today.

Artificial intelligence tools may pose a threat to writers of thrillers and science fiction, but lack the originality and humour to challenge serious novelists, Salman Rushdie wrote in a French journal published Thursday.

Author Salman Rushdie on Friday called for a "cessation" in fighting between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, saying he was filled with "horror" and "foreboding".

The injuries from the attack left him blind in one eye, resulted in damage to his liver and a paralysed hand caused by nerve damage to his arm.

Salman Rushdie, the Booker Prize-winning author, was on stage almost a year ago when he was stabbed up to 10 times by Hadi Matar.

The award's Board of Trustees described Mr Rushdie as a "passionate defender of freedom of thought and expression".

"It will be a relatively short book, a couple of hundred pages. It's not the easiest book in the world to write but it's something I need to get past in order to do anything else," Mr Rushdie said.

In his emotional address, the author said that the mission to protect free expression was never "more important" in a time of book bans and censorship and issued a call to action.

In his effusive praise for Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie, politician and author Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday asserted that the "overdue" Nobel Prize should not be withheld any longer from the "greatest living Indian writer."

The revised editions, which omit paragraphs related to weight, mental health, gender and race, will be published with reprints of 17 of the author's books in original form at a later date.

An Iranian foundation has praised the man who attacked novelist Salman Rushdie last year, leaving him severely injured, and said it will reward him with 1,000 square metres of agricultural land, state TV reported on Tuesday
