Salman Rushdie will publish a memoir on his 2022 stabbing in New York, book publisher Penguin Random House has announced. “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder,” will be published April 16, 2024. “This was a necessary book for me to write: a way to take charge of what happened, and to answer violence with art,” said Rushdie, 76, whose public appearances have been limited since last year’s attack, which blinded him in one eye.
