Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
by Salman Rushdie
emotional
hopeful

medium-paced
Knife is more than a simple memoir/recounting of the vile attack on the author. I found this a moving and thought-provoking read; it wasn't quite what I'd expected. I enjoyed Rushdie's writing and psychological self-examination, and it was interesting to learn of the impact the fatwa has had on him (I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by that). I haven't read any of Rushdie's other work, but I certainly now intend to.
