Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder is an autobiographical book by the British Indian writer Salman Rushdie, first published in April 2024 by Jonathan Cape.[1] The book recounts the stabbing attack on Rushdie in 2022. It hit number one in the Sunday Times Bestsellers List in the General hardbacks category.[2]
Rushdie's 1988 novel The Satanic Verses had led to a widespread controversy among Muslims, prompting the 1989 fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran.[3][4]
