At first, Rushdie balked at the thought of writing about the stabbing, he said in an interview with The New Yorker, as if “the attack demanded that I should write about the attack.”
The book, to come out next April, is "Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder" (paid link).

Poor guy. I would hate to lose an eye in a stabbing.
Well, duh. Why would a writer let a stabbing experience go to waste.
I've read some of his writing, and to realize that mullahs call for his death over his works makes me realize how insane the mullahs are.
I'm not looking forward to that book. Firstly, Rushdie's prose style isn't my cup of tea. Secondly, I'm thoroughly fed up with his equivocations and fascistic tendencies. Rushdie doesn't understand loyalty as a virtue, as witnessed by his chaotic personal life.
The cookbook will have to wait.
he was stabbed because of inadequate security at Chataqua a place that spreads sweetness and light. they had two local cops, and no one screened the audience for weapons.
Iran had a fatwa against him.
