Staff Picks Book Discussion

Join us each month for a lively conversation centered on titles selected by staff within a variety of genres.

In this group we will discuss Knife by Salman Rushdie.

From Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder is the searing, deeply personal account of enduring, and surviving an attempt on his life thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against him. While standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, a man dressed head to toe in black came at him with a knife, stabbing him 14 times in 27 seconds. This is Rushdie's story of survival.
