Tune into the livestream to hear Salman Rushdie speaking out for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, about the traumatic events of August 12, 2022.
He answers violence with art, and reminds us of the power of words to make sense of the unthinkable. In an evening combining live readings from actors and candid reflections from Salman Rushdie (via livestream), this unique event offers a deeply personal account of the attack and its aftermath.
Salman Rushdie is the author of fifteen previous novels, including Midnight’s Children (for which he won the Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker), Shame, The Satanic Verses, The Moor’s Last Sigh, and Quichotte, all of which have been shortlisted for the Booker Prize. He is a former president of PEN America and the recipient of the PEN Centenary Courage Award. His books have been translated into over forty languages. In 2023, he was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People of the Year. In June 2007 he received a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. He joined the prestigious Companions of Honour in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in her Platinum Jubilee year.

"I was absolutely determined to regain my life, and I have taken steps to do so.' This resonated deeply with me. Also, the section about taking back his power. I love his humanity. Intelligent, pragmatic optimism is a power I value deeply. Great interview. Please watch to the very end. He is life-affirming.

Fabulous. The optimism is so important. I don’t can’t imagine what the world would be like without art and humanity.
