FRESH ARTS SCENE
LET THE ARTS IN HOUSTON GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

INPRINT PRESENTS SALMAN RUSHDIE | Inprint
Monday, November 9, 7:30pm (Tickets $5)
Inprint invites you to a reading with Salman Rushdie. Rushdie – for whom “the
pen is a magician’s wand” (Financial Times) – is the internationally celebrated
author of 11 novels, including Midnight’s Children, which won the Booker Prize
and the “Best of the Booker” and was called “one of the most important books
to come out of the English-speaking world in this generation” (The New York
Review of Books). He comes to Houston to read from his new novel, Two Years
Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights, a wonder tale set in the near future of
New York City, which blends history, mythology and a timeless love, and is
loosely based on 1001 Arabian Nights. The reading will take place at 501
Texas Avenue. Tickets are $5. For more information, visit www.inprinthouston.org.
