"My body was dying, and it was taking me with it," says Rushdie

"There was nothing supernatural about it. No 'tunnel of light.' No feeling of rising out of my body," says Salman Rushdie, describing his near-death experience in 2022 in his new book "Knife."

I understand whats he feeling. He doesn't want to be remembered by the man who was stabbed 😢

As an award-winning author for decades, I doubt that's his true concern. As always, he's reporting, documenting things, and advocating against censorship, suppression, lies, deceit, etc.

Rushdie is still under a death sentence from the Fatwā issued by the Supreme Leader of Iran. A fatwa cannot be revoked in Shia Islamic tradition.

If anything, making attempts on an author's life simply gives them more publicity. This is especially the case if you're someone as influential as Rushdie.
