Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder by Salman Rushdie

challenging dark emotional tense fast-paced

2.0

While it's absolutely important to find ways to work through trauma, some things should stay in a diary or journal.
This work alternated between snippets of grief to condescension towards those who don't see life the same as Rushdie. 
The sheer amount of self congratulations and navel-gazing was exhausting. I shoul  probably stick to his fictional work.
