Notes
Celebrated writer Salman Rushdie was subjected to a savage knife attack in 2022. The attack came 33-years after the Supreme Leader of Iran issued a fatwa calling for him to be killed, in protest at his novel The Satanic Verses. In his new book, Knife, Rushdie recounts the events of that day, and his ‘miraculous’ recovery.
