I've never read any of Rushdie's works but this seemed too intriguing to pass up. And I'm glad I gave it a shot. His writing is so beautiful and funny and clever, even with a topic such as his almost-assassination.
The way he wrote about the knife and its many meanings and life and love was just great to read. I highlighted so many passages.
I don't know what else to say except, it was a stunning memoir and I'm glad I was able to get both the physical and audio.

A brave account of a hateful incident. By writing this, Rushdie shows how Hope can defeat hate and how creativity is more powerful than destruction.

This book was incredible. I had never heard of Rushdie or his history and thought the blurb in an article sounded interesting, and I’m so glad I picked it up. Rushdie is truly an artist in the way he writes, a beautifully written and inspiring memoir.

What a book. A book he should never have had to write, but a beautiful, brutal and generous gift to the world. Touching, funny, and insightful, Rushdie confronts his attack with honesty, compassion and pure heart.
