Salman Rushdie to Write Memoir About Stabbing Attack

Rushdie, who was grievously injured onstage last year, said the forthcoming book was a way “to answer violence with art.”

Making a deal with Iran now is as wise as striking a new arms-control agreement with Vladimir Putin.

Hadi Matar, 24, kept to himself and was changed by a 2018 trip to the Middle East.

Mr. Rushdie’s agent said Sunday that the writer, who was attacked on Friday after years under threat, was beginning a slow journey of healing.

The writer was gravely wounded and on a ventilator. Neither the hospital treating him nor his agent had updates on his condition early Saturday.
