Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder

Knife is a deeply personal and searing memoir in which Rushdie recounts the 2022 knife attack, his long physical recovery, and the emotional aftermath.

He writes with wit, urgency, and unflinching honesty. This is far more than a record of trauma. It is a meditation on survival, love, art, and the power of creativity in the face of violence.

This book is for anyone who believes in art as a way to make sense of the unthinkable. It is a testament to resilience, freedom of expression, and the redemptive power of writing.
