SUMMARY:Inprint Salman Rushdie Reading
DESCRIPTION:General admission tickets for $40 includes a copy of Rushdie’s new book\, The Eleventh Hour. \nSalman Rushdie will read from his new “quintet of stories” The Eleventh Hour\, followed by an on-stage conversation with fiction writer Brenda Peynado. The event is presented as part of the 2025/2026 Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series. Please note\, ticket buyers and season subscribers will be notified of the venue.  \nSalman Rushdie “is a writer of courage\, impressive strength\, and sheer stylistic brilliance” (Washington Post) – a globally acclaimed novelist and essayist whose work blends history\, myth\, politics\, and magical realism. Born in Bombay\, he 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 15 novels\, including The Satanic Verses\, Shame\, The Moor’s Last Sigh\, Quichotte\, and Victory City\, plus two story collections\, two memoirs\, and several collections of essays translated into more than 40 languages. He has received a knighthood for services to literature and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. \nA three-time past author on the Inprint Brown Reading Series and a member of the Inprint National Advisory Council\, Rushdie returns to Inprint with The Eleventh Hour\, a new 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. Kirkus Reviews calls The Eleventh Hour a “provocative set of tales” that “celebrate life\, language\, and love in the face of death\,” and Publishers Weekly praises\, “Grounded in moving ruminations on the afterlife and what a person leaves behind\, these stories sing.” The Spectator writes\, “More than 40 years after Midnight’s Children\, there is still nobody who spins a yarn quite like Salman Rushdie.” \nBrenda Peynado‘s latest book\, Time’s Agent\, about a disgraced time researcher on one last mission for redemption\, was one of Amazon Editors’ and Book Riot’s best books of August and won the Phillip K. Dick Award. Her genre-bending short story collection\, The Rock Eaters—featuring Latina girlhood\, basement ghosts\, alien arrivals\, and angels falling from rooftops—was named one of NPR\, the New York Public Library\, and Electric Literature’s best books of 2021. She teaches at the University of South Florida. \n

SUMMARY:Inprint Cool Brains! Series presents Meg Medina
DESCRIPTION: \n\nFree and open to the public\nFree copies of Graciela in the Abyss for the first 100 families\nPresentation and Q&A by Meg Medina\nMeet the author followed by a book sale and signing\nBus scholarships available for student groups – full scholarships for public schools\, partial scholarships for private schools upon availability. For information\, email info@inprint.org\n\nDiscounted books available through Brazos Bookstore\n\n\nThe 2025/2026 Inprint Cool Brains! Series proudly presents Newbery Medalist Meg Medina with her latest novel Graciela in the Abyss that  takes us far beneath the waves in this extraordinary foray into fantasy. \nMeg Medina is a former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature and the author of the Newbery Medal– winning book Merci Suárez Changes Gears\, which was also a Kirkus Prize Finalist\, and its sequels\, Merci Suárez Can’t Dance and Merci Suárez Plays It Cool\, as well as several award-winning young adult novels and picture books. The daughter of Cuban immigrants\, Meg Medina lives in Richmond\, Virginia. \nAbout Graciela in the Abyss\, Meg Medina says\, “To survive in the darkest depths of the sea\, creatures must learn to make their own spectacular light. In so many ways\, that ability mirrors what young people need on their journey of growing up.”  \nIn the deepest recesses of the ocean\, Graciela—once an ordinary girl—now makes sea glass and assists her friend\, Amina\, as she welcomes newly awakened sea ghosts from their death sleep. Though Graciela’s spirit is young\, she has lived at the bottom of the ocean for more than a hundred years. Meanwhile\, in the mortal world on land\, twelve-year-old Jorge Leon works in his family’s forge. He’s heard of the supernatural spirits living beneath the ocean’s waves—tales that do nothing to quell his fear of the water. But when Jorge discovers a hand-wrought harpoon with the power to spear a sea ghost\, he knows he must destroy it any way he can. When the harpoon is accidentally reunited with its vengeful creator\, unlikely allies Graciela and Jorge have no choice but to work together to keep evil spirits from wreaking havoc on both the living and the dead. If only the answer to saving what they care about didn’t lie within the depths of the abyss . . . Newbery Medal winner Meg Medina and illustrators Anna and Elena Balbusso have crafted a thoughtful tale infused with magic and high-stakes adventure that will leave readers wondering what power lies in the depths of the ocean—and inside each of us. \n***Please note that the book signing will be conducted on a first-come\, first-served basis. Upon entering the theater\, people wishing to have books signed will be given a number\, and the book signing will take place in numerical order after the on-stage presentation.*** \n

SUMMARY:Inprint Álvaro Enrigue Reading
DESCRIPTION:General admission tickets for $5 go on sale here on this webpage Thursday\, February 26\, 12 pm noon. For season subscriptions click here.  \nÁlvaro Enrigue will read from his new novel Now I Surrender\, followed by an on-stage conversation with author and professor José F. Aranda\, Jr. The evening will conclude with a book sale and signing. The event is presented as part of the 2025/2026 Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.  \nÁlvaro Enrigue is “a full-fledged writer” (Mario Vargas Llosa)\, who\, according to Carlos Fuentes\, “belongs to many literary traditions at once and shows a great mastery of them all.” A celebrated Mexican novelist and essayist whose inventive\, genre-blurring fiction blends history\, politics\, and literary play\, he has held prestigious fellowships at Princeton and the New York Public Library and currently teaches at Hofstra University in New York. Enrigue’s novels include Hypothermia\, Sudden Death (winner of the Herralde Novel Prize\, Barcelona Prize\, and Poniatowska Prize)\, and You Dreamed of Empires. The Los Angeles Times praised You Dreamed of Empires for its “hallucinatory vividness\,” calling it a “‘wild novel’ that reanimates the collision of empires with extraordinary flair.” The Washington Post called it “an alternate history of Mexican conquest\, with a Tarantino-ready twist\,” and The New York Times Book Review named it one of the 10 best books of the year.  Recognized among the Bogotá 39 as one of Latin America’s top young writers\, he is renowned for narratives that fuse intellectual depth with formal risk. \nEnrigue comes to Inprint with his new novel Now I Surrender\, translated by Natasha Wimmer\, a sweeping\, multi-layered epic set in the contested borderlands of the 19th‑century U.S.–Mexico frontier. Intertwining the stories of a Mexican woman fleeing a raid\, a federale on the trail of cattle rustlers\, the pursuit of Apache leader Geronimo\, and a contemporary family seeking truth\, the novel is part historical fiction\, part meta‑narrative on memory and storytelling. Heralded as his most ambitious work yet\, Now I Surrender is a visionary novel that radically recasts the story of how the West was “won.” \n \nJosé F. Aranda\, Jr. is Professor of Chicanx Literatures at Rice University. He holds the Terrance Doody Chair in English and has a dual appointment in the Department of Modern and Classical Literature & Culture. Professor Aranda is the author of When We Arrive: A New Literary History of Mexican America\, as well as The Places of Modernity in Early Mexican American Literature\, 1848-1948. \n

SUMMARY:Inprint Cool Brains! Series presents Gordon Korman
DESCRIPTION: \n\nFree and open to the public\nFree copies of Hypergifted for the first 100 families\nPresentation and Q&A by author Gordon Korman\nMeet the author followed by a book sale and signing\nBus scholarships available for student groups – full scholarships for public schools\, partial scholarships for private schools upon availability. For information\, email info@inprint.org\n\nDiscounted books available through Brazos Bookstore\n\n\nThe 2025/2026 Inprint Cool Brains! Series proudly presents #1 New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman with his newest book Hypergifted\, a funny and heartwarming sequel to the word-of-mouth hits Ungifted and Supergifted . \n Gordon Korman published his first novel\, This Can’t Be Happening at Macdonald Hall\, when he was 14 after writing it for his 7th grade English class. Inspiring young readers ever since\, he is a New York Times bestselling author of more than 100 books\, including The Superteacher Project\, The Unteachables\, Pop\, Notorious\, Unplugged\, and the Masterminds series. His books have sold more than 35 million copies and have been translated into 32 languages. He lives with his family on Long Island\, New York. You can learn more about his work at gordonkorman.com. \nIn Korman’s highly anticipated new book Hypergifted\, school has never been a problem for twelve-year-old super-genius Noah Youkilis—at least not until he gets an admission letter to the prestigious Wilderton University. The last thing Noah wants is to go straight from eighth grade into college. Will his life ever just be normal?! Meanwhile\, Noah’s best friend\, Donovan\, has been looking forward all year to a summer of doing nothing. But when Wilderton allows Noah to bring a friend for the summer term\, Donovan’s parents jump at the chance. Suddenly\, Donovan’s summer of slack has turned into hanging with Noah and working as a summer camp counselor for professors’ kids. \nOnce they arrive on campus\, Noah’s determined to fit in—and to him\, that means joining the top-secret Society of the Gavel. But becoming a Gaveler is harder than it seems\, and it’s made all the harder when Noah and Donovon smuggle Wilderton’s mascot\, a two-hundred-pound pig named Porquette\, into their dorm. Now Noah and Donovan must combine all their middle-school smarts to keep their pig-sized secret\, fix a haywire AI program before it pretty much ends the world\, and keep track of Donovan’s campers. \n***Please note that the book signing will be conducted on a first-come\, first-served basis. Upon entering the theater\, people wishing to have books signed will be given a number\, and the book signing will take place in numerical order after the on-stage presentation.*** \n

SUMMARY:Inprint Marie Howe Reading
DESCRIPTION:General admission tickets for $5 go on sale here on this webpage Monday\, March 2\, 12 pm noon. For season subscriptions click here.  \nMarie Howe will read from her latest poetry collection New and Selected Poems\, followed by an on-stage conversation led by renowned poet/memoirist and UH Creative Writing Program professor Nick Flynn. The evening will conclude with a book sale and signing. The event is presented as part of the 2025/2026 Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.  \nMarie Howe\, according to Nick Flynn\, “has always come as close as any poet since Rilke to touching eternity\, simply by stretching out her hand and believing that something exists beyond her grasp\, beyond her knowing.” Born in Rochester\, New York\, Howe is the author of five volumes of poetry\, including New and Selected Poems\, which won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in poetry; Magdalene: Poems; The Kingdom of Ordinary Time; What the Living Do; and The Good Thief\, which was selected by Margaret Atwood for the National Poetry Series. Atwood wrote\, “Reading it\, you feel interest always\, delight often\, and occasionally that cool wind at the back of the neck that makes you think there’s one more person in the room than there actually is. These poems are intensely felt\, sparely expressed\, and difficult to forget; poems of obsession that transcend their own dark roots.” \nStanley Kunitz calls Howe’s poetry “luminous\, intense\, and eloquent\, rooted in an abundant inner life. Whether she is confronting the joys or terrors of existence\, the light that falls on the page is suffused with grace and charity.” Mark Doty writes\, “How does she see with such devastating clarity? Howe sweeps up a life and fixes it on the page\, and stands here before us\, the stunned and grateful witness of all that’s taken and granted by love and time.” Her honors include fellowships from the NEA\, Guggenheim Foundation\, and Bunting Institute at Radcliffe College. Howe is also co-editor of the essay collection\, In the Company of My Solitude: American Writing from the AIDS Pandemic. \n \nPoet\, memoirist\, and playwright Nick Flynn has published 13 books\, most recently Low (2023)\, a poetry collection; and Stay: threads\, collaborations\, and conversations (2020)\, which documents 25 years of his collaborations with artists\, filmmakers\, and composers. He is also the author of five other poetry collections\, including I Will Destroy You (2019)\, and four volumes of memoir. A professor in the Creative Writing Program at the University of Houston\, his acclaimed memoir\, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City (2004)\, was made into the film\, Being Flynn (2012)\, starring Robert DeNiro\, and has been translated into 15 languages. \n

LeGuin writes of his novel The High Mountains of Portugal\, “We’re fortunate to have brilliant writers using their fiction to meditate on a paradox we need urgently to consider—the unbridgeable gap and the unbreakable bond between human and animal\, our impossible self-alienation from our world.'” \nKnown for exploring themes of interpretation\, identity\, and storytelling\, Martel comes to Houston to share his new novel Son of Nobody\, which reimagines classical antiquity from an outsider’s perspective via a new legend composed by Martel: the Psoad\, an epic in free verse that follows a goatherd’s son\, Psoas of Midea\, who leaves his wife and family to fight at Troy. The poem of his life is lost—until a Canadian academic studying at Oxford discovers it thirty centuries later\, which leads him to grapple with questions of ambition\, family\, and responsibility in both the ancient and modern worlds. Son of Nobody upends the steadfast traditional epic and shows\, according to Martel\, “that the past is never finished\, that always there are parallels and returns and repetitions\, always the song continues.” \n \nABC-13 News journalist Melanie Lawson has won numerous awards for her reporting\, including three Emmys. She is well-known for her in-depth interviews with a wide range of notables\, including three U.S. Presidents\, Henry Kissinger\, the Dalai Lama\, Maya Angelou\, Destiny’s Child\, Spike Lee\, and Denzel Washington. For the Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series she has conducted several thoughtful interviews with Brit Bennett\, Ta-Nehisi Coates\, James McBride\, Leila Mottley\, and Annette Gordon-Reed. \n

SUMMARY:Inprint Brittny Ray Crowell & Nina McConigley Reading
DESCRIPTION:General admission tickets for $5 go on sale here on this webpage Monday\, April 13\, 12 pm noon. For season subscriptions click here. \nbrittny and Nina will read from their new books respectively\, Cord Swell and How to Commit A Postcolonial Murder\, followed by an on-stage conversation led by a local writer/journalist. The evening will conclude with a book sale and signing. The event is presented as the closing event of the 2025/2026 Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.  \n brittny ray crowell’s work as a librettist has been featured as part of the Kennedy Center’s Cartography Project\, and she is recipient of an Inprint C. Glenn Cambor Fellowship and winner of an Inprint Donald Barthelme Prize in Poetry while at the UH Creative Writing Program. Cord Swell\, crowell’s debut poetry collection\, is a pilgrimage through experimental poems\, stories\, and mixed-media collage\, of three generations of Black women. Marrying inventive form with meaning\, these poems echo the voices of lost loved ones. Nick Flynn calls the book “an altar\, a praise song to women…who survive―some as witness\, some as memory\, some as a recipe for gravy.” A. Van Jordan describes these poems as “heirlooms passed down to us\, bolstering strength through every challenge.” \nNina McConigley is\, according to Tayari Jones\, “a true original with a wit so sharp that it makes you bleed as soon as it would make you laugh.” Chitra Divakaruni calls her story collection\, Cowboys and East Indians\, winner of the PEN/Open Book Award\, “beautiful\, startling\, poignant.” Born in Singapore and raised in Wyoming\, McConigley was awarded an Inprint Brown Foundation Fellowship and Inprint Donald Barthelme Nonfiction Prize. She returns to Wyoming with her debut novel\, How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder\, about a pair of Indian-American teenage sisters who plot to murder a newly immigrated uncle. Celeste Ng writes\, “I have been waiting for Nina McConigley’s debut novel for years and it’s even better than I could have imagined…. a much-needed examination of how power is abused—over girls\, over countries\, over cultures—and the possibilities\, and costs\, of reclaiming that power.” \n \nKevin Prufer is the 2026 Texas Poet Laureate. His ninth poetry collection\, The Fears\, was published by Copper Canyon Press in 2023 and received the 2024 Rilke Prize.  His new novel Sleepaway (Acre Books\, 2024) was declared a “small press gem” by the Los Angeles Times. He is Co-Director of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Houston\, where he also curates the Unsung Masters Series\, a book series devoted to bringing the work of great but little known authors to new generations of readers. \n
