Salman Rushdie has made his first in-person public appearance since being stabbed repeatedly and hospitalized nine months ago. The author was in attendance Thursday night for the annual gala of PEN America, the literary and free expression organization for which he once served as president.
"I feel great," said Rushdie, wearing a dark collarless jacket and matching pants. "I have a long association with PEN America and I'm just happy to be amongst writers and book people."
"Saturday Night Live" founder Lorne Michaels and Iranian dissident Narges Mohammadi were among those scheduled to be honored. The alleged assailant, Hadi Matar, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and attempted murder.
