25 page preview of Salman Rushdie's Knife--

As in Joseph Anton, his other autobioraphical work, Rushdie has the ability to look at himself unflinchingly, I think a very necessary requirement in any writer.

If you don't understand yourself, who will you understand?

The one's I like best, Shame, Midnight's Children, Haroon and the Sea of Stories.
