English Language Broadcast - Salman Rushdie's Knife: 'Answering death with life' - 23/05/24
Manage episode 419756458 series 63543
On the twelfth of August of 2022, author Salman Rushdie was about to give a lecture in West New York when he was stabbed 15 times by a young man who barely knew anything about him. What the young man knew was that, Rushdie was considered a blasphemer and that in 1989, Iran had sentenced Rushdie to death, a year after the publication of his novel 'The Satanic Verses'.
The author survived the brutal attack, but lost his right eye and now, two years after the attack, Mr. Rushdie decided to narrate this experience in a new book called 'Knife'. He has been in Spain this past week for the release of the Spanish translation "Cuchillo" and during his visit he spoke with our colleague, Laura Barrachina, from Radio Uno's culture section, about that August 12th, his sense of humor, the power of literature, and freedom of expression.
