Acclaimed author Sir Salman Rushdie is set to release his first work of fiction in nearly three years, following a stabbing that left him blind in one eye in 2022.

A man charged with stabbing renowned British-Indian author Sir Salman Rushdie multiple times on a New York lecture stage has been found guilty of attempted murder and assault.

Sir Salman Rushdie has told a court that he thought he was dying after being stabbed repeatedly on stage two years ago, leaving him blind in one eye.

The attack, which was captured on video, took place at the historic Chautauqua Institute in northwestern New York, where Mr Rushdie was due to give a lecture.

Bridget's fear of public speaking has definitely resonated with me in the past, but knowing I'll never have to present in front of Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Salmon Rushdie is a comforting thought.
