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.

阅读《百年孤独》的时候,书里、网上都有齐全的人物列表。而《午夜之子》却没能找到现成的家族人物列表。自制树形图表方便以后的读者。(略有剧透,同时忽略了部分家族成员和在孟买时复杂的邻居关系。) 除了繁复的人物关系,本书的另一个阅读障碍要属念书时没有重点普及的印巴...

如果要推选一位在二十世纪八九十年代的世界文坛上最引起轰动的作家,那么,肯定非英国的萨曼·鲁西迪莫属了。 萨曼·鲁西迪在文学上的成就是有目共睹的,他是当今英国文坛上的领军人物,被誉为“后殖民”文学的“教父” 。三十余年来,他佳作迭出,共出版了十部...

由於對印度文化沒有認識,所以讀得非常睏難,但正因此,到最後兩章纔能感慨頗深。曆史、他人、寓言統統匯集瞭到他身上,構成瞭他的記憶、行為和個性,而他自身也在參與對他人的塑造,他的下一代身上必將有他自己的身影。雖說是後現代的,但同時也是能列入經典的大部頭序列之中的作品。不過我也對如此之多的印度曆史事件感到不太適應。對印度讀者而言,關於這些事件的每一個字肯定都扣動他們的心弦,但對非曆史讀者而言,梳理這些事件又實在過於吃力不討好瞭。

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。

A three-week non-stop reading. Mesmerizing and magnificent. Salman Rushdie is a master of storytelling.

讀完一本傑作就像是一場友誼的終結。
