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.

评分 评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-...
评分纳博科夫不相信现代文学批评,什么存在主义精神分析结构与解构等等都是bull shit.纳博科夫信奉的是文学间的相互影响和文本中的细节,譬如普鲁塔克的尤利乌斯如何潜入到莎士比亚的凯撒中,又如尤利西斯那个没提名字一闪而过的雨中黑衣人其实是乔伊斯他自己. 这种我...
4.5星,文笔好得没法说,想象力丰富,可读性极强,但后面让人感觉略失望有烂尾嫌疑
评分由于对印度文化没有认识,所以读得非常困难,但正因此,到最后两章才能感慨颇深。历史、他人、寓言统统汇集了到他身上,构成了他的记忆、行为和个性,而他自身也在参与对他人的塑造,他的下一代身上必将有他自己的身影。虽说是后现代的,但同时也是能列入经典的大部头序列之中的作品。不过我也对如此之多的印度历史事件感到不太适应。对印度读者而言,关于这些事件的每一个字肯定都扣动他们的心弦,但对非历史读者而言,梳理这些事件又实在过于吃力不讨好了。
