Dazzling new short stories from Salman Rushdie that transport us around the world from Bombay neighbourhoods to elite English universities If old age was thought of as an evening, ending in midnight oblivion, they were well into the eleventh hour. 'Salman Rushdie is a genius' A.M. Homes Two quarrelsome old men in Chennai, India, experience private tragedy during national calamity. Revisiting the Bombay neighbourhood of Midnight's Children, a magical musician is unhappily married to a multibillionaire. In an English university college, an undead academic asks a lonely student to avenge his former tormentor. These five dazzling works of fiction move between the three countries that Salman Rushdie has called home - India, England and America - and explore what it means to approach the eleventh hour of life. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? How can we bid farewell to the places that we have made home? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time. 'Rushdie's wry sense of mischief remains undimmed' Financial Times, *Books of the Year* 'One of the most important voices in contemporary literature' Independent 'Rushdie has not just enlarged literature's capacities, he has expanded the world's imaginative possibilities' The Times

The Professor's Office Hours

'Artists are slaves to their vanity. But in the end, in time, they see things as they really are.' Thomas Haller has achieved the kind of fame that most artists can only dream of: shows in London and New York, paintings sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The vision he presents to the world is one of an untouchable genius at the top of his game. It is also a lie. Who is the real Thomas Haller? His oldest friend and former dealer, Lorna, might have known once - as impoverished art students in London, there was nothing they didn't share. But Thomas traded their early intimacy for international fame, and the promises made to him by Claude Berlins: the urbane and ruthless dealer whose appetite for Thomas is all-consuming. Now the owner of her own gallery, Lorna must watch his ascent from the sidelines. On the eve of his latest show, the luminaries of the artwork - including Lorna - gather to fête Thomas once more. But the sudden death of a young man casts a pall across the event, setting off a chain of events that will lead both of them back into the past, to confront who they have become. The Violet Hour exposes the unsettling underbelly of the art world, asking who is granted admission to a world that only seems to glitter, what is sacrificed, and who is left outside, their faces pressed to the glass.
