We are honored to publish Salman Rushdie’s new memoir, KNIFE: Meditations After an Attempted Murder. Available now everywhere books are sold, including an audiobook edition narrated by Rushdie himself.

Speaking out for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, about the traumatic events of August 12, 2022, Salman Rushdie answers violence with art, and reminds us of the power of words to make sense of the unthinkable. KNIFE is a searing, unforgettable testament to the human will to survive and a life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art—and finding the strength to stand up again.
