CONDEMNING THE BRUTAL ATTACK ON SALMAN RUSHDIE,
STANDING WITH SALMAN RUSHDIE
On Friday morning, world renowned writer Salman Rushdie was brutally attacked at a public reading in upstate New York. Revolution Books is sharing this statement issued by PEN America, the advocacy organization for the rights of writers.
From Suzanne Nossel, PEN America CEO, August 12, 2022:
"PEN America is reeling from shock and horror at word of a brutal, premeditated attack on our former President and stalwart ally, Salman Rushdie, who was reportedly stabbed multiple times while on stage speaking at the Chautauqua Institute in upstate New York. We can think of no comparable incident of a public violent attack on a literary writer on American soil.
