Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
by Salman Rushdie
4 out of 5 stars
Knife is Salman Rushdie’s deeply personal and harrowing account of surviving a near-fatal stabbing in 2022. With a mix of raw emotion, philosophical reflections, and masterful storytelling, Rushdie recounts the attack, his recovery, and the broader implications of violence, free speech, and resilience.
This book is both haunting and inspiring. Rushdie’s ability to blend personal pain with intellectual depth makes for an absorbing read. It’s a sobering reminder of the cost of standing by one’s beliefs and the fragility of life itself.
For those interested in memoirs that tackle survival, resilience, and the fight for artistic freedom, Knife is a compelling and powerful read.
