New York (AFP) - Vivant depuis 1989 sous la menace de mort d'une fatwa émise par le régime islamique d'Iran, Salman Rushdie s'est longtemps interrogé sur l'identité de celui qui finirait par le tuer.

L'écrivain américano-britannique raconte ses réflexions sur cette agression en public qui l'a conduit à l'article de la mort dans "Le Couteau", qui paraîtra le 16 avril aux Etats-Unis, et le 18 avril en France aux éditions Gallimard. Salman Rushdie a été agressé au couteau en août 2022 lors d'une conférence littéraire...

"I confess, I had so...
