Description
The Instant Sunday Times #1 Bestseller - a moving, life-affirming memoir about survival and the power of love to heal, from Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie.
On the morning of 12 August 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage in upstate New York, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black - black clothes, black mask - rushed down the aisle towards him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it's you. Here you are.
What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond. Now, for the first time, Rushdie relives the traumatic events of that day and its aftermath, as well as his journey of healing and recovery. This is an intimate and life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art - and finding the strength to stand up again.
