Salman Rushdie on survival, censorship and the power of fiction

More than three decades after the fatwa over “The Satanic Verses” and nearly four years after surviving a knife attack that left him blind in one eye, Salman Rushdie returns with “The Eleventh Hour”, his first work of fiction since the assault. Speaking to arts24’s Eve Jackson at Porto’s new BABELL literary gathering, the celebrated novelist reflects on resilience, censorship, mortality and why storytelling remains one of humanity’s greatest acts of freedom.
