6. SOUNDBITE (English) Salman Rushdie, author/PEN member:
"If you’re a free expression organization, if you believe in the value of free speech, then you must believe in the value of free speech that you don’t like. If you only defend free speech that conforms to your own moral framework that’s what is normally called censorship."

STORYLINE:
Salman Rushdie’s memoir about his near-fatal stabbing, “Knife,” and Percival Everett’s revisionist historical novel, “James," are among the finalists for the 75th annual National Book Awards. Others nominated include author-filmmaker Miranda July for her explicit novel on middle age, “All Fours,” and the celebrated Canadian poet Anne Carson for “Wrong Norma.”
On Tuesday, the National Book Foundation announced finalists in fiction, nonfiction, young people’s literature, poetry and books in translation. Judges in each category pared long lists of 10 unveiled last month to five final selections. Winners will be announced during a Nov. 20 dinner ceremony in Manhattan, when honorary prizes will be presented to novelist Barbara Kingsolver and publisher-activist W. Paul Coates.
Rushdie’s “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder” is a nonfiction finalist.
“Knife” is the first National Book Award nomination for the 77-year-old Rushdie, who was living overseas and ineligible at the time he published the Booker Prize-winning “Midnight’s Children’s” and other works. A native of India who lived for years in London, Rushdie became a U.S. citizen in 2016.
The 1981 Booker Prize win for “Midnight’s Children” established him as a dynamic voice of post-colonial literature. Nearly a decade later, he would reach a terrifying level of fame with “The Satanic Verses,” and the call for his death issued by Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Rushdie was driven into hiding. But by August 2022, he had thought himself safe enough to address a conference in western New York with minimal security: No one was on hand to stop a young assailant, Hadi Matar, from rushing the stage and stabbing him repeatedly.
Judging panels in each category made their selections from hundreds of submissions, with publishers nominating more than 1,900 books in all.
