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.

評分阅读《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...
評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-...
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4.5星,文筆好得沒法說,想象力豐富,可讀性極強,但後麵讓人感覺略失望有爛尾嫌疑
