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.

英国作家萨尔曼•鲁西迪的每部作品几乎都是布克奖热门入围作品。  《午夜之子》于1981年获布克奖,1993年,鲁西迪就又凭借此作品获得 “布克奖中的特别奖”,此奖当时为纪念布克奖25周年额外增设。2008年他又凭借《午夜之子》获得“最佳布克奖”,这个特别奖项旨在庆...

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

非常精巧的小说,好像一碰就会碎的结构和叙事。这书要是中国人写的我肯定特喜欢,关键问题是我一点印度历史和文化都不懂,隔膜很深。

评分

很特别的小说。在继承了英国文学传统(狄更斯,康拉德最为明显)的同时,创造性的书写了印度二十世纪的历史(个人记忆与集体历史的并置)。可惜的是,作者没有摆脱essentialism的逻辑,在英美主流文坛上屡获好评,“政治正确”的因素不可否认。难怪读完总感觉有那么一点儿别扭。BTW,说起魔幻现实主义的作品,迄今为止我还是认为《百年孤独》为最佳。

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.

当一个人和一个国家成为双生子 于是有了这个宏大而带着魔幻感的故事。但是单词真是好难啊 我就这么囫囵吐枣了。。。
