Rushdie’s Satanic Verses would probably not be published today, says Adichie

Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has said Sir Salman Rushdie's controversial novel The Satanic Verses would "probably not" be published today.

Sir Salman was attacked in August during a literary event in New York, where he suffered a damaged liver and severed nerves in an arm and an eye.

The Satanic Verses, his fourth novel, led to death threats in Iran in the 1980s.
