my biggest takeaway from this memoir was how hatred, cruelty and violence can stem from something completely different from what/who was targeted. it can rise from simmering anger, frustration towards the world or something deeply personal that can get channeled into something as ambiguous as religion or beliefs. made me think of how senseless/needlessly cruel sometimes people on the internet can be to random strangers.

Some of Knife’s passages moved me so much that I had to stop and sit with them for a while. I feel profoundly lucky to have had the chance to read it at all, especially right now.
“And I too can call myself beloved. I have felt myself beloved on the earth. Hated, yes, that too - but beloved trumps all hate.”
“And I too can call myself beloved. I have felt myself beloved on the earth. Hated, yes, that too - but beloved trumps all hate.”
Understood, Mr. Salman.
I'll wait patiently for news.
I started by reading the book, then I saw that there was an audiobook that was read by the author. I decided to listen to it all again, and I'm glad I did.
You can see in his voice where it hurt and his feelings about what happened.
I don't like reading biographies or books about anyone's life. I take this book as a special case because I like the author's work and what happened doesn't make sense. I was curious to know what Salman had to say after experiencing such an atrocity and deciding to talk about it.
I've been reading a lot of the comments on this book and one thing's for sure, there's a lot of support here that he might appreciate.
