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
