"About a year ago, I was stabbed in the neck by an unknown assailant, who severed my vertebral artery. If the police ever catch the culprit in what appears to be a random attack, they intend to charge him or her with attempted murder. That night, I had been headed home to watch an episode of the TV series THE AFFAIR which I co-wrote. Needless to say, I didn’t end up getting to see the show."
