One day after he was stabbed while onstage at New York state’s Chautauqua Institution to give a lecture, Salman Rushdie is hooked up to a ventilator and not able to talk, his agent says, per the BBC. « The news is not good, » Andrew Wylie told the New York Times on Friday evening. « Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.
