Pressezitat
Candid, plain-spoken and gripping . . . Knife is a clarifying book. It reminds us of the threats the free world faces. It reminds us of the things worth fighting for. The New York TimesKnife isn t so much about pondering imminent death than it is an affirmation an insistence on returning to life. San Francisco Chronicle
The subject the idea for which Rushdie nearly died is the freedom to say what he wants . . . Rushdie survived, but he has too many scars to be certain that the idea will. This book is his way of fighting back. The Atlantic
A brave and beautiful book that tells his story with a cathartic relish, no gruesome detail spared . . . this book is as much a love letter to his wife the poet Rachel Eliza Griffiths as it is a punch-back at his assailant. The Wall Street Journal
Salman Rushdie s memoir is horrific, upsetting and a masterpiece . . . Knife is a tour-de-force, in which the great novelist takes his brutal near-murder and spins it into a majestic essay on art, pain and love . . . full of Rushdie s wit, his wisdom, his stoicism, his optimism, his love of all culture. Daily Telegraph
Knife is in part about and in some sense itself is a battle between the two most prominent Rushdies: Great Writer and Great Man, artist and advocate, private person and public figure . . . Contains some of the most precise, chilling prose of his career. Vulture
Not just a candid and fearless book but against all odds a defiantly witty one . . . A reckoning , if not quite a catharsis, Rushdie s invigorating dispatch from (almost) the far side of death s door names and limits the attack as a large red ink blot. The Financial Times
Rushdie s triumph is not to be other: despite his terrible injuries and the threat he still lives under, he remains incorrigibly himself, as passionate as ever about art and free speech. The Guardian
