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 評分英國作傢薩爾曼•魯西迪的每部作品幾乎都是布剋奬熱門入圍作品。 《午夜之子》於1981年獲布剋奬,1993年,魯西迪就又憑藉此作品獲得 “布剋奬中的特彆奬”,此奬當時為紀念布剋奬25周年額外增設。2008年他又憑藉《午夜之子》獲得“最佳布剋奬”,這個特彆奬項旨在慶...
評分推薦理由:魯西迪雖然是因為《撒旦詩篇》被下瞭追殺令而成為世界焦點,但他文學上的成就,卻是這本被譽為“英語世界罕見的完美小說”的《午夜之子》。一個孟買小孩誕生於印度脫離英國獨立的神聖時刻(1947年8月15日午夜零點),他受到尼赫魯總理的祝福。本書即是這個敘述者龐...

我隻能說Rushdie天馬行空,將印度的曆史和主人公的命運捆綁在一起,主人公的成長曆程即是印度的發展過程,再加以印度神話敘述,不愧是THE BOOK OF BOOKS.
评分摻雜政治和宗教因素的魔幻現實主義小說,讀來略覺艱澀~

评分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
