Salman Rushdie was nearly killed in a knife attack in 2022. Today, he is thinner, paler, scarred and blind is his right eye. Yet, the author remains the same engaging, articulate and uncensored champion of artistic freedom. Rushdie, who wrote “The Satanic Verses,” a book that spurred the call for his death by Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, spoke to the Associated Press about the attack, the “iron in his soul,” and his new book, “Knife.” https://flip.it/gLxncF
