Tune in to the livestream to hear Salman Rushdie speak for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, about the traumatic events of August 12, 2022.
He responds to violence with art and reminds us of the power of words to give meaning to 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 Best of the Booker), Shame, The Satanic Verses, The Moor's Last Sigh and Quixote, all of which were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. He is a past president of PEN America and recipient of the PEN Centenary Courage Award. His books have been translated into more than forty languages. In 2023, he was named one of the 100 most influential people of the year by Time. In June 2007 he was awarded a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours. He joined the prestigious Companions of Honor in the Queen's Birthday Honors list during her Platinum Jubilee year.
