Man Who Stabbed Salman Rushdie Is Found Guilty of Attempted Murder The man, Hadi Matar, faces up to 32 years in prison. Prosecutors said he rushed onstage at an arts conference and stabbed the famed author about 15 times.

Rushdie was the target of a campaign, which deliberately vilified The Satanic Verses and its author, and which had a lot in common with current book ban efforts in the US. I wish this article had said that, rather than simply saying many people found it offensive. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

Three newsletters I've read recently that have helped me make sense of what's happening in our government and given me concrete actions to take.

“NPR attended an NEA workshop Tuesday afternoon for arts groups planning to apply for grants. Questions were not taken in the session, but had to be sent in advance. No mention was made of the new restrictions.”

This article lithub.com/why-do-ameri... says less than 1% of new books published in the US are works in translation, and 40% of those are from Western Europe. Read a Japanese novella today!

I recommend Some Beheadings by Aditi Machado. ashleyhoney.substack.com/p/some-behea...

It's a gory book for a middle school reading assignment! There's a lot of business about knives.

Thank you, I'll read it!
