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.

=2000年春,上海译文出版社约我翻译英国作家萨曼•拉什迪的代表作《午夜的孩子》。当时,我除教学任务之外,正在翻译一部十九世纪的经典名著时间极为紧张。不过,在再三考虑之后,我还是把这个繁重的任务接了下来。因为我觉得,像《午夜的孩子》这样一部举世公认的当代名著,...

推荐理由:鲁西迪虽然是因为《撒旦诗篇》被下了追杀令而成为世界焦点,但他文学上的成就,却是这本被誉为“英语世界罕见的完美小说”的《午夜之子》。一个孟买小孩诞生于印度脱离英国独立的神圣时刻(1947年8月15日午夜零点),他受到尼赫鲁总理的祝福。本书即是这个叙述者庞...

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...

这本书只用了具有神开辟天地的恢弘气势的前两节就让我激动不已,看完第一部的时候我已经将拉什迪拥戴到那些让我崇敬的伟大作家行列之中,而读罢厚达600页(繁体中文)的全书后,确认这位在孟买度过童年、在英国成长起来的作家心中装着整个印度,外加世界文学的最丰厚遗产...

我只能说Rushdie天马行空,将印度的历史和主人公的命运捆绑在一起,主人公的成长历程即是印度的发展过程,再加以印度神话叙述,不愧是THE BOOK OF BOOKS.

很特别的小说。在继承了英国文学传统(狄更斯,康拉德最为明显)的同时,创造性的书写了印度二十世纪的历史(个人记忆与集体历史的并置)。可惜的是,作者没有摆脱essentialism的逻辑,在英美主流文坛上屡获好评,“政治正确”的因素不可否认。难怪读完总感觉有那么一点儿别扭。BTW,说起魔幻现实主义的作品,迄今为止我还是认为《百年孤独》为最佳。

掺杂政治和宗教因素的魔幻现实主义小说,读来略觉艰涩~
