"I do not want to use his name in this account," author Salman Rushdie said of his assailant. In his new book "Knife" he refers to the attacker as "the A."
"There was the knife in the eye. That was the cruellest blow, and it was a deep wound. The blade went in all the way to the optic nerve, which meant there would be no possibility of saving the vision. It was gone," says Salman Rushdie.
After being stabbed 15 times, Salman Rushdie's face was slashed open. In his new book "Knife," he says his face looked like "a sci-fi movie special effect."
"The lips of the man in the mirror do not move. There is a slash across the top of his forehead," Salman Rushdie writes in his book "Knife."
