Salman Rushdie - The Eleventh Hour - Signed First UK Edition

A first edition, first printing of The Eleventh Hour by Salman Rushdie, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 2023. A near fine copy, signed by the author on the title page, free from internal inscriptions or marks, with clean, bright pages and a firm binding. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper, showing only light handling wear, with colours strong and no tears or loss.

The Eleventh Hour is Rushdie’s first work of fiction following the 2022 attack and comprises three interconnected novellas exploring mortality, art, memory, and survival. Written with clarity and restraint, it represents a significant moment in his later career and has been widely read as both a literary return and a personal reckoning. This signed first edition forms part of the late-period run of signed Rushdie first editions, marking a distinct and important entry within his modern bibliography.
