New York | Salman Rushdie, the acclaimed author who was stabbed repeatedly at a public appearance in New York state, 33 years after Iran’s then-supreme leader called for him to be killed, has started “the road to recovery” from his severe injuries, his agent and a son said on Sunday (Monday AEST).
“He’s off the ventilator, so the road to recovery has begun,” his agent, Andrew Wylie, wrote in an email to reporters. “It will be long; the injuries are severe, but his condition is headed in the right direction.”
