Description
Salman Rushdie's memoir of survival and the power of love to heal is a moving and life-affirming account of a traumatic event and its aftermath. On the morning of 12 August 2022, Rushdie was attacked with a knife while giving a lecture, an incident that shook the world. This book is his account 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 those around him. Rushdie writes with urgency, gravity, and unflinching honesty, creating a deeply moving reminder of literature's capacity to make sense of the unthinkable. This is an intimate and life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art, and finding the strength to stand up again. The result is a powerful and thought-provoking work that is both a personal story and a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
