Author Salman Rushdie lost vision in one eye and was left "incapacitated" in a hand after he was stabbed in the United States in August, his agent said in an interview published this weekend.
The 75-year-old writer, who had received several death threats after the publication of his "The Satanic Verses", was stabbed several times in the neck and abdomen by Hadi Matar, a 24-year-old from New Jersey with roots in Lebanon, before he was due to give a talk in the state of New York.
