"Im Lucky": Salman Rushdie On Surviving "Colossal" Knife Attack

London: Salman Rushdie, the Mumbai-born author of Booker Prize-winning novel 'Midnight's Children', said on Monday that he feels lucky to have survived the last year's brutal stabbing at a literary event in the US as he spoke for the first time about the "colossal attack". The 75-year-old British American novelist was giving a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in New York - where he is based - on August 12 last year when a man reached the stage and stabbed and punched him several times. In his first interview since the attack which has caused loss of vision in one eye, the author told 'The New Yorker' magazine that his main feeling was one of gratitude to those who showed their support and his family, including sons Zafar and Milan.
