Salman Rushdie's sense of humour is not lost after such a vicious attack.
-
Dang man, stabbed 14 times and all you get is 6 months of writer’s block! Salman Rushdie is a complete inspiration for artists everywhere.
-
No hatred in his voice, no bitterness. Just a retelling of facts, from his perspective. That's conscious control
-
I'm not the hero worship type.. but man, this is an impressive human being.
-
He confronts worldwide jihadist hate directed at him for exercising our freedom. He does this with grace and humor. What a brave extraordinary man.
-
Buying the book would be the best way of supporting everything Salman Rushdie represents
-
I love his wisecracks. That dry wit is just superb.
-
I met him years ago when he gave a lecture in my city. I’ve never been more impressed by anyone in my life.
-
Great to see Mr.Rushdi back. Thanks Stephen for having him on your show.
-
I normally don't watch what the celebs have to say section. But, i watched this one. Hope he lives longer than his critics!
-
From iran admire your diligence.
-
He is 76 years old- wow. Such an impressive person
-
I'm not sure I could go around talking about being attacked like he does. He's a total badass...
-
Glad to hear Salman Rushdie is doing okay. He has such a positive attitude, and this is inspiring.
-
A profoundly courageous man. He stood up to Islamic supremacists ages ago when there was no protection. And in spite of fatwa after fatwa has continued to speak, & write, his mind. Nothing but respect. Be safe, dear man.
-
What a wonderful inspiration this man is! We are fortunate to still have you Mr. Rushdie.
-
I choose to believe "nothing happened" because the Universe immediately insisted we still need Mr. Rushdie here with us. ❤️❤️
-
Stands up for what he believes with little regard for his well being. True hero.
-
My heart broke when I saw him stabbed, and the prognosis wasn’t good. My relief and sheer joy at seeing about again!
-
Amazing that he was able to analyse the event to the point where he was able to bring out such a symbolic story… truly an indication of a great intellectual.
