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."

　　 特彆讓我著迷的是，拉什迪在多年之後，給瞭我長久以來在《百年孤獨》之後一直希望再次遇到的、性質相似卻又絕非山寨的敘事迷魅。文明史巨流中的傢族史譜寫，被再次證明為宜於小說傢采掘的無盡寶礦。除此以外，我們可以看到魔法在發揮作用、預敘手法在擺布時間製造懸念、代錶著寬厚的生命守護者的女性、對敘述的高度執著並因而將對話和描寫變成其中的鑲嵌物，以及美好的長句。（在我淺薄的閱讀經驗中，福剋納、馬爾剋斯和拉什迪是最會寫長句的人。）

拉什迪的《午夜的孩子》是一部以魔幻現實主義手法寫成的現代文學經典之作。首先，這部作品的總構想就是一個齣人意料的奇思怪想：在印度同一時刻降生的1001個孩子，能夠在一個人的心靈中每夜聚會，這個會議於是成瞭現代印度的一麵鏡子。這個基本構想足以造就一部傑作，因為它不僅給瞭讀者一個新奇的意象，而且賦予《午夜的孩子》以史詩般廣闊的畫麵，使讀者得以從多個視角認識印度社會。作者以自由飛騰的想象力，通過一個人的命運來審視一個民族的曆史，使作品具有豐富的社會內容和深刻的思想內容。
