Salman Rushdie’s agent has said “the news is not good” after the author was stabbed at an event in New York state.
He was attacked on stage, and is now on a ventilator and unable to speak, Andrew Wylie said in a statement, adding that the author will lose one eye.

“Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged,” his agent, Andrew Wylie said.
A day that will live in infamy.

No words.
Damn. Just — damn.
Second Sastra.
And we were mighty close to something like this earlier this year with Dave Chappelle.
But only amongst us infidels. Not so among the umma.
A true fundamentalist is someone who wants his fellow human beings to go to Hell so badly that he can’t even stand waiting until they’re dead. #CreatingHellOnEarth
That poor man. What a terrible thing for one man to do to another. And for what? How does that improve the world one iota for anyone? Including the psychopath who stabbed him, or the men who egged him on?
I do hope that Mr. Rushdie makes as full a recovery as is humanly possible, and that the rumours of him losing his eye turn out to be false.
