After surviving a brutal attack on him in New York on August 12, 2022, international bestselling author Salman Rushdie is recovering from it-- slowly but steadily. "I’m getting there. The human body has a remarkable capacity for healing. I wouldn’t say I’m 100% back, but I’m on the way," Rushdie told Time in a recent interview.
Rushdie also revealed that though his recovery might take longer, but it wouldn't be completely back to normal. "The eye is not coming back. The eye is lost. The hand that was badly damaged is recovering quite well with a lot of therapy. And the other wounds are getting better. There’s a lot of therapy that’s needed. Obviously, there was a quite a lot of PTSD. But I’m getting better," he told Karl Vick from Time.
