Salman Rushdie rose to international prominence with Midnight’s Children, which won the 1981 Booker Prize and was later named the “Booker of Bookers.” He is the author of 14 novels, including The Satanic Verses, Shame, The Moor’s Last Sigh, Quichotte, and Victory City.
Rushdie returns to Houston with his newest work, The Eleventh Hour, a collection of five interconnected stories that explore aging, mortality, memory, and identity, set in India, England, and the U.S. Rushdie describes it as “a single work” with each of the stories “in conversation with one another,” anchored by a prologue and epilogue that frame the emotional journey.
Rushdie will read from The Eleventh Hour, followed by an on-stage conversation led by a local writer/journalist.
