A true writer is a creature of its own kind, knowing well, how to live -and nearly die - on the razor's edge, and live again to tell the story. Because of this resilience, the art that comes out of such a writer is forged in fire, brave, unrelenting and can speak truth to power. Salman Rushdie's new memoir, “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder,” is a case in point. ©HintsOfHeart.
