bristoni74 's review for:
Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
by Salman Rushdie
I haven't read Rushie's books, but he is infamous for his book "Satanic Verses" and the terrible knife attack he experienced from a lunatic fundamentalist. However, this felt less of a memoir and more of a metaphor? Like he still had to write a "literary" book that dosen't seem authentic at times? There was also name dropping and his clear political views and what he thinks of those who don't share them.
I skipped the chapter where he imagines a conversation with his alleged attacker as it felt so odd and out of place. Maybe it should have been something he wrote in a personal journal rather than published in his memoir? Overall, this was ok but dosen't inspire me to pick up his other works.
