精彩書評

"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."

《匹剋威剋外傳》在英國文學史上最主要的貢獻是最早以當代現實生活為創作素材，並把平民當做小說的主人公。小說描寫當時社會生活的各種場景，幾乎描繪到當時社會上所有階層的人物。本書語言幽默風趣，情節生動麯摺，其中既有正義與邪惡的鬥爭，又有辛辣的政治諷刺；既有妙趣橫生的民間故事，又有對社會陰暗麵的無情揭露；作傢既對上層社會的虛僞庸俗進行瞭猛烈的抨擊，又對下層的窮苦百姓錶現齣深切的同情

難得的是，即使在拉迪處於風暴中心、被迫藏身地下之時，他也沒有放下手中的筆。十餘年間，他又有一係列新作問世，包括文學評論集《想象的傢園》，短篇小說集《東方，西方》，長篇小說《哈倫故事海》、《摩爾人的最後嘆息》、《她腳下的土地》和《憤怒》。更可貴的是，評論傢認為，他並沒有簡單地重復自己，每一部作中都有一些齣人意外的新東西。
