British-American author Salman Rushdie recounts the 2022 stabbing at a public event that left him blind in one eye in "Knife", his first memoir since the near-fatal attack, which hits English language bookstores on Tuesday. The French edition, "Le Couteau", will be released Thursday.
The Indian-born author, a naturalised US citizen based in New York, has faced death threats since his 1988 novel "The Satanic Verses" was declared blasphemous by Iran's supreme leader, making Salman Rushdie a global symbol of free speech.
