British writer Salman Rushdie will unveil his new work, Knife: Meditations after an attempted murder, in which he tells of the attack he suffered almost two years ago in New York in which he lost an eye.

• The 76-year-old, a British writer born in India, said in an interview on the CBS program 60 Minutes that he had dreamed that he had a premonitory dream that he ignored.
• Rushdie revealed that he had dreamed that he was "attacked in an amphitheater" shortly before traveling to Chautauqua, the town where he was going to give a lecture when he was savagely attacked.
• In this book, Rushdie tells in just over 200 pages how he survived the dozen stab wounds that a young man of Lebanese origin inflicted on him with a knife when he was about to pronounce the conference.
