Sir Salman Rushdie on life after the attack and the power of books
Sir Salman Rushdie says he is physically "more or less OK" nearly a year after he was stabbed as he prepared to give a lecture in New York.
However the 76-year-old told Newshour's Razia Iqbal he was still processing the incident, which left him blind in one eye. "I have a very good therapist who has a lot of work to do," said the novelist. "I have crazy dreams."
