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."

這本書隻用瞭具有神開闢天地的恢弘氣勢的前兩節就讓我激動不已,看完第一部的時候我已經將拉什迪擁戴到那些讓我崇敬的偉大作傢行列之中,而讀罷厚達600頁(繁體中文)的全書後,確認這位在孟買度過童年、在英國成長起來的作傢心中裝著整個印度,外加世界文學的最豐厚遺産,且不止於此。
