British-American author Salman Rushdie recounts the near-fatal stabbing at a public event in 2022 that left him blind in one eye and his journey to healing in his new memoir "Knife," which hits stores Tuesday.
The Indian-born author, a naturalized American based in New York, has faced death threats since his 1988 novel "The Satanic Verses" was declared blasphemous by Iran's supreme leader, making Rushdie a global symbol of free speech.
