Two days after his stabbing assault by a young American of Lebanese origin at a conference in the north of the United States, Salman Rushdie is on “the path of recovery” even if he remains in a serious state, said his agent Andrew Wylie, quoted by American media, said on Sunday.
He is no longer under an artificial respirator and “the recovery path started,” said Wylie in a statement transmitted in particular at Washington Post . “The injuries are serious, but his condition evolves in the right direction,” added the author of the author of the Satanic verses stabbed Friday at the Chautauqua Cultural Center (New York State) on the neck and the abdomen.
Friday, Mr. Wylie had explained that Mr. Rushdie was on respiratory assistance, that he had liver injuries and nerves cut in one arm and that he was likely to lose an eye.
