Salman Rushdie: When I die, I know there will be nothing

Salman Rushdie: When I die, I know there will be nothing

One of the world’s most acclaimed, award-winning authors Salman Rushdie has spent the last thirty years with a death threat attached to his head. A threat that almost became a reality two years ago when he brutally stabbed 15 times by a stranger. Few people have come so close to death and lived to tell the story. Salman returns to Full Disclosure to tell James about the day he almost died and the aftermath that followed.

Salman has written a deeply personal account of the brutal attack on his life. Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder is out now.

This episode contains sensitive topic discussions around graphic and disturbing violence. Listener discretion is advised.
