精彩书评

"Allegorical novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1981. It is a historical chronicle of modern India centering on the inextricably linked fates of two children born within the first hour of independence from Great Britain. Exactly at midnight on Aug. 15, 1947, two boys are born in a Bombay hospital, where they are switched by a nurse. Saleem Sinai, who will be raised by a well-to-do Muslim couple, is actually the illegitimate son of a low-caste Hindu woman and a departing British colonist. Shiva, the son of the Muslim couple, is given to a poor Hindu street performer whose unfaithful wife has died. Saleem represents modern India. When he is 30, he writes his memoir, Midnight's Children. Shiva is destined to be Saleem's enemy as well as India's most honored war hero. This multilayered novel places Saleem in every significant event that occurred on the Indian subcontinent in the 30 years after independence. Midnight's Children was awarded the Booker Prize for fiction in 1981."

在当今世界上，萨尔曼•拉什迪无疑是最有影响的作家之一，他在文学上的成就有目共睹。长期以来，他一直被看作当代英国文坛上的领军人物，被誉为是“后殖民”文学的“教父”，又有人他和奈保尔与石黑一雄并称是英国文坛上的“移民三”。二十余年来，他佳作迭出，迄今为止共出版了八部长篇小说和一部短篇小说集，几乎每一部作品都引起了重视，获得过英国以及美、法等国许多重要的文学奖项。上世纪八十年代，拉什迪在《撒旦诗篇》中出言不慎，闯下了杀身之祸，结果使他不得不接受英国警察的保护，在公众面前消失达九年之久。正是个原因，他的重要作品在我国迟迟未能得介绍。所幸这种不正常的情况已经得到了改变，1998年，伊朗官方宣布，尽管对拉什迪的追杀令是霍梅尼遗留下来的圣谕，不可更改，但这个命令从认真执行过，今后也不打算执行。随后，欧共体各国纷纷恢复了与伊朗的外交关系，一件令世人瞩目并引发国际争端的大事就以这样一种皆大欢喜的方式收了场。1998年，萨尔曼•拉什迪本人又在公众前露面。

　　 作者毫不介意在主线的故事中不断介入期间，磊落大方地为读者指明他那些既可以被视为字面意义也可当作隐喻或寓言的情节大体上应该如何进行阐释，甚至就连这一双关手法本身，作者都毫不介意将隐喻直截了当地比作天鹅，不停地提醒自己和读者它何时以及为何需要起飞或降落在现实的大地上。如此，读者既可以享受小说魔术师眼花缭乱的技巧，又不必担心会陷入技巧的迷宫而失去“意义”——对今天的人类来说尤其害怕失去的东西——的宝藏，因为迷宫的建造者慷慨地赐予了指南针。
