Salman Rushdie Wiki Pedia – Salman Rushdie Biography
Salman Rushdie lost
his sight in one eye, and used one hand after an attack he suffered while
preparing to deliver a lecture in New York State two months ago, confirmed his
agent. The 75-year-old author, who was threatened with death from Iran in the
1980s after the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses, was stabbed in the
neck and torso as he went on stage to give a speech on artistic freedom at the
Chautauqua Institute on August 12
So far, the full
extent of Rushdie's injuries has been unclear. But in an interview with Spanish
El PaÃs, Andrew Wylie explained how serious and transformative the attack was.
"[His injuries] were deep, but he was blind in one eye," said Wylie.
“He had
three serious neck injuries. Because the nerves in the arm were
severed, one hand is disabled. On his chest and torso, he also has a further 15
wounds. So it was a brutal attack. "

Incident Detail
The agent declined to provide information as
to whether Rushdie was still in the hospital, saying the most important thing
was that the writer would survive. Wylie added that he and Rushdie had
previously spoken about the likelihood of such an assault. "The main
danger he has faced so many years after applying the fatwa is that a random
person will appear out of nowhere and attack him," he said.
“As a result, you can't be on the lookout for
it since it's totally illogical and unexpected. It was comparable to John
Lennon's murder. Elsewhere in the interview, Wylie said the world is going
through a "very turbulent period", especially in the United States.
“I think nationalism is growing, a kind of fundamentalist right is growing…
From Italy to… Europe, Latin America, and the United States, where… half the
country seems to think Joe Biden stole the election from Donald Trump.
And they admire this man who is not only completely
incompetent, a liar, and a thief, but just a farce. This is ridiculous. When
asked how he felt about the fact that the Maus, Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic
novel by another author, Art Spiegelman, was banned in some American schools,
Wylie said, "You know, this is a religious law that behaves like this, how
it behaves . . This is ridiculous.
This is ridiculous. is embarrassing. But now
she is a great force in the country. “When he appeared in court on August 18,
the guy accused of stabbing Rushdie did not enter a plea to attempted second-degree
murder and assault charges. Hadi Matar, 24, was
indicted in a brief hearing in
the Chautauqua Circuit Court on a jury charge with one charge of attempted
second-degree murder and one charge of second-degree assault. Two weeks before
the attack, Rushdie told the interviewer that he felt his life was "very
normal again" and that fears of an attack were a thing of the past.
