Finalista del National Book Award 2024 «Sentà la necesidad de escribir este libro: una forma de procesar lo sucedido y de responder a la violencia con el arte . El 12 de agosto de 2022, treinta años después de la fetua decretada contra él por el ayatolá Jomeini, un joven se abalanzó sobre Salman Rushdie para acuchillarle sin piedad. Cuchillo es una meditación poderosa, profundamente personal y, en última instancia, consoladora sobre la vida, la pérdida, el amor, el arte... y sobre cómo reunir la fuerza necesaria para volver a ponerse en pie. «Debemos proteger a toda costa a Rushdie. Proteger a Rushdie es proteger la alegrÃa, la risa, las ganas de vivir. Proteger a Rushdie es proteger la civilización. -Javier Cercas .

Finalist for the 2024 National Book Award for Nonfiction From internationally renowned writer and Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie, a searing, deeply personal account of enduring--and surviving--an attempt on his life thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against him. 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 gripping, intimate, and ultimately life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art--and finding the strength to stand up again.
