'Knife' by Salman Rushdie: Author refuses to be silenced once again

  • サマリー

  • Salman Rushdie has been getting death threats for more than 35 years. The Indian-born British-American novelist sparked outrage with his book "The Satanic Verses" in 1988. It was declared blasphemous by many Muslims, so much so that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against him, calling for his death. In August 2022, the Booker Prize-winning author was stabbed multiple times on stage in New York state, leaving him blind in one eye. His attacker is now on trial for attempted murder. The book "Knife" is Rushdie's account of what happened. He spoke about the work at the 20th edition of the Hay Festival Cartagena in Colombia, where he sat down with Léa Hurel from FRANCE 24's Spanish channel.
