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]
由于对印度文化没有认识,所以读得非常困难,但正因此,到最后两章才能感慨颇深。历史、他人、寓言统统汇集了到他身上,构成了他的记忆、行为和个性,而他自身也在参与对他人的塑造,他的下一代身上必将有他自己的身影。虽说是后现代的,但同时也是能列入经典的大部头序列之中的作品。不过我也对如此之多的印度历史事件感到不太适应。对印度读者而言,关于这些事件的每一个字肯定都扣动他们的心弦,但对非历史读者而言,梳理这些事件又实在过于吃力不讨好了。

对于中国人来说,世界上大部分地区的人都很好理解,或者说,大部分中国知识分子,对其他地区的人都有一种固有的形象,以至于一提起就让人心生好感/恶感。这种一一对应关系除了大家都不甚了了的黑非洲和亚马逊丛林,仅有印度作为一个得到现代文明承认的文明国家/地区例外。 原因...
评分◎鲁茫 未能免俗。几乎也是一气呵成看完了《午夜之子》。已经很久没有这种状态,因为太多的未完成排队似的摆在书架上。也许我该先吐槽,在九月买书买得太多,即使在这个亢奋之月的最后一个晚上,京东又让我“背叛”了自己一次,同时再次告诫自己:最后一次了,绝不能再有“剁...
评分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...
评分 评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、...
