“When I arrived at the hospital they thought it might already be too late”

The Booker Prize-winning author, Sir Salman Rushdie speaks to Nihal.

He is one of most famous and most celebrated authors of our time. And in August 2022 he was stabbed on stage in New York.

Sir Salman said he is using his new book, ‘Knife’, as a way of fighting back against what happened.
