The moderator who was on stage with Salman Rushdie when the author of The Satanic Verses was stabbed, has said that he himself is doing “quite well” and expressed concern for the writer who is “important to the world.”
In an interview with the BBC, Henry Reese said that he hoped to go back to the Chautauqua Institution and continue the conversation he was going to have with Mr Rushdie. He said: “That would be my ideal to do that and to see that happen and to not be in any way impeded from doing what we set out to do.”
