Salman Rushdie Discusses His First Work of Fiction Since Near-Fatal Attack

Season 2025 Episode 8027 | 17m 48s

Salman Rushdie lived under the threat of a death sentence for decades. Then, in 2022, he narrowly survived a knife attack that left him blind in one eye. Now, the author is channeling his experiences into "The Eleventh Hour,” a quintet of short stories that explore life and death. Rushdie joins the show to discuss the project and what he learned from his close encounter with death.
