In his new memoir, Knife, Salman Rushdie tells the unforgettable (and life-affirming) story of the attempt on his life and the recovery and healing that would follow. Rushdie joins us to talk about writing such a personal work, the importance and beauty of art and the kinds of literature he loves with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.
