@brutamerica: Ahead of the release of his memoir, “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder,” Salman Rushdie spoke about the 27-second attack on him in 2022 in New York. “I remember thinking I was dying,” he said. “Fortunately, I was wrong.” The book, which releases on April 16, is about the attack on Rushdie by Hadi Matar, a 26-year-old New Jersey resident.
