Saleem Sinai was born at midnight, the midnight of India's independence, and found himself mysteriously 'handcuffed to history' by the coincidence. He is one of 1,001 children born at the midnight hour, each of them endowed with an extraordinary talent - and whose privilege and curse it is to be both master and victims of their times. Through Saleem's gifts - inner ear and wildly sensitive sense of smell - we are drawn into a fascinating family saga set against the vast, colourful background of the India of the 20th century.
Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie, KBE (English pronunciation: /sælˈmɑːn ˈrʊʃdi/[1]; born 19 June 1947) is a British-Indian novelist and essayist. He achieved notability with his second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), which won the Booker Prize in 1981. Much of his fiction is set on the Indian subcontinent. His style is often classified as magical realism mixed with historical fiction, and a dominant theme of his work is the story of the many connections, disruptions and migrations between the Eastern and Western world.
His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (1988), was the centre of The Satanic Verses controversy, with protests from Muslims in several countries. Some of the protests were violent, with Rushdie facing death threats and a fatwā issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran, in February 1989.
He was appointed a Knight Bachelor by Queen Elizabeth II for "services to literature" in June 2007.[2] He holds the rank Commandeur in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France. He began a five-year term as Distinguished Writer in Residence at Emory University in 2007.[3] In May 2008 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2008, The Times ranked Rushdie thirteenth on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".[4] His latest novel is The Enchantress of Florence, published in June 2008.[5]

评分overrated
评分我只能说Rushdie天马行空,将印度的历史和主人公的命运捆绑在一起,主人公的成长历程即是印度的发展过程,再加以印度神话叙述,不愧是THE BOOK OF BOOKS.
评分10.20-11.13| mesmerizing at times wonder if there's some unreliable narrator inside the magical realism not that it matters

评分本书是一部以文学方式叙述的印度现代史,作者以他丰富甚至狂野的想像力,呈现了印度丑恶与光荣兼具的纷繁面向:这块神秘次大陆及其人民的生活、命运、梦想和无奈。法国作家 米兰·昆德拉曾经这样赞叹道:自从鲁西迪的《午夜之子》在当时(一九八一年)唤起一致的欣赏后,盎格鲁-...
