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]
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.
纳博科夫不相信现代文学批评,什么存在主义精神分析结构与解构等等都是bull shit.纳博科夫信奉的是文学间的相互影响和文本中的细节,譬如普鲁塔克的尤利乌斯如何潜入到莎士比亚的凯撒中,又如尤利西斯那个没提名字一闪而过的雨中黑衣人其实是乔伊斯他自己. 这种我...
評分 評分萨尔曼·拉什迪 作 流畅 译 在他的同代人当中,有的小说家——马丁·阿米斯和伊恩·麦克尤恩——可以说很早就开始了自己的事业,他们像高贵的鸟类,几乎刚破壳就一飞冲天。而他自己早年的希望却仍未实现。他在旺兹沃斯大桥路附近的阿克福德路的一个阁楼里住了一段时间,跟他...
評分这本书只用了具有神开辟天地的恢弘气势的前两节就让我激动不已,看完第一部的时候我已经将拉什迪拥戴到那些让我崇敬的伟大作家行列之中,而读罢厚达600页(繁体中文)的全书后,确认这位在孟买度过童年、在英国成长起来的作家心中装着整个印度,外加世界文学的最丰厚遗产...
評分英籍印裔小说家萨尔曼•拉什迪,与V.S奈保尔和石黑一雄并称“英国移民文学三剑客”。他1981年出版的长篇《午夜之子》(此为台湾译名,大陆刘凯芳教授译作《午夜的孩子》,但因政治和宗教因素,未被批准出版。网上有电子版本。),使他一举成名,得以与加西亚•马尔克斯、...
讀完一本傑作就像是一場友誼的終結。
评分非常精巧的小說,好像一碰就會碎的結構和敘事。這書要是中國人寫的我肯定特喜歡,關鍵問題是我一點印度曆史和文化都不懂,隔膜很深。
评分摻雜政治和宗教因素的魔幻現實主義小說,讀來略覺艱澀~
