is on a ventilator, cannot speak, and will likely lose an eye, after being stabbed up to 15 times on Friday by a suspect police identified as a man from 'with sympathies toward Iranian government.' Rushdie's condition was updated by his agent Andrew Wylie shortly before 7 p.m. on Friday, hours after the novelist was repeatedly stabbed by Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, as he was about to give a speech at a literary event in upstate New York. 'The news is not good,' Wylie said. 'Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.'
