Rushdie was stabbed 15 times and lost his right eye at a literary festival in Chautauqua, N.Y., almost two years ago. He has come to terms with the attack by writing about it in his new book, set to be released by Penguin in 2024. Rushdie talks to Cooper about Iran’s religious decree that called for his death 35 years ago, his years in hiding, and how he reclaimed his life in the U.S. before he was nearly killed by an assailant wielding a knife.
