Anglo-Indian novelist Salman Rushdie will be at the Turin Book Fair, where he will talk with Gomorra author Roberto Saviano, on Friday 10 May at 6.30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Congress Centre, director Annalena Benini announced Tuesday.
    Mumbai-born Rushdie, 76, best known for Midnight's Children (1981) and The Satanic Verses, which earned him an Iranian death fatwah in 1988, will present his new book Knife. Meditations After An Assassination Attempt (Mondadori), in which he relives for the first time the traumatic attack of 12 August 2022 in New York, when a deranged man rushed onto the stage and stabbed him repeatedly, including in the face, neck and abdomen, and left him with the loss of sight in one eye.
    The book recounts the complicated path to physical recovery and healing thanks to the love and support of his wife Eliza, family, doctors, physiotherapists and the community of his readers.
