Krátky popis
A searing, deeply personal account of enduring a brutal attempt on
his life, thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against him
- from internationally renowned writer and Booker Prize-winner
Salman RushdieOn the morning of 12 August 2022, Salman Rushdie was
standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York,
preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers
safe from harm, when a man in black – black clothes, black mask –
rushed down the aisle towards him, wielding a knife. His first
thought: So it’s 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 towards 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 literature’s capacity to make
sense of the unthinkable, an intimate and life-affirming meditation
on life, loss, love, art – and finding the strength to stand up
again.
