We’re revisiting our conversation about KNIFE, a finalist for Narration by the Author in the 2025 Audie Awards. Narrating his own work, Salman Rushdie offers an emotionally resonant account of the shocking knife attack that almost ended his life. Host Jo Reed and AudioFIle’s Michele Cobb discuss his memoir of the attack, its immediate aftermath, and the difficult recovery.

Wide-ranging and deeply insightful, this meditation on life, love, and resilience makes for compelling listening.
