Now, for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, Rushdie relives\nthe traumatic events of that day and its aftermath, as well as his journey\ntoward physical recovery and the healing that was made possible by the love and\nsupport of his wife, Eliza, his family, his army of doctors and physical\ntherapists, and his community of readers worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eKnife\u003c\/i\u003e is Rushdie at the peak of his powers, writing with urgency,\nwith gravity, with unflinching honesty.
