Salman Rushdie is happy with the 25-year jail term for Hadi Matar. Matar attacked Rushdie at a New York event in 2022. The attack left Rushdie blind in one eye. Rushdie spoke about the sentence in a BBC interview. He also wrote a memoir called "Knife" about the incident. The book includes an imagined talk with Matar.
