Salman Rushdie writes book about attack on him, says ‘It’s not easy’

Washington: Indian-born writer Salman Rushdie writes a book about his attack. Let us tell you that last year Rushdie was attacked with a knife on stage in New York. He had lost sight in one eye as a result of the attack. He said this in a zoom meeting during an ongoing program in Britain.

The Guardian quoted Salman Rushdie as saying: “I’m trying to write a book about the attack itself – what happened and what it means, not just about the attack but about the many things that happened around.” . “It will be a small book, a hundred pages. It’s not the easiest book in the world to write, but to do anything else, I have to go beyond it. I just have to take care of it.

At the Hay Festival, Salman Rushdie received the Prose Medal for his recent book Victory City. Speaking of Victory City, Rushdie said, “Most people seem to like the book, and that means a lot.” Rushdie also said he was pleased with the positive reviews for this book. This book was published after the attack on him.

Salman Rushdie was stabbed last August as he prepared to give a public lecture in the United States. Hadi Matar, who stabbed Rushdie, has been charged with attempted murder. Rushdie spent nearly six weeks in hospital after being stabbed and losing sight in one eye. Rushdie reportedly struggled to type because he suffered hand injuries that left some of his fingers unresponsive.

Salman Rushdie went into hiding for nearly 10 years after the publication of his book The Satanic Verses in 1988, which resulted in a fatwa being issued against him. There were many protests over claims that the book was anti-Islamic. Rushdie received death threats, and then-Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called for the perpetrator’s murder and declared a $3 million (over 24 crore) ‘bounty’ for her head.
