“The Eleventh Hour,” a collection of short stories and a novella, is the first fiction Salman Rushdie has published since the 2022 attack that nearly killed him. He talks with Martha Teichner about his new book; the fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989, claiming passages in Rushdie’s novel, “The Satanic Verses,” insulted Islam; his own immigrant experience in the U.S.; and what happens when freedom of speech dies.
