Rushdie's new memoir, "Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder," will be published on April 16, 2024.
Rushdie released a new novel, "Victory City," nearly six months after his stabbing attack.
Khomeini's successor, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, once said the fatwa against Rushdie was "irrevocable."
