Salman Rushdie has accomplished the near impossible. He has written a memoir in the first person and made it one of the most incredible books ever published. Have I mentioned that the subject of this memoir doesn’t exist?
Saleem Sinai was born at the exact stroke of midnight, on the day of the Independence of India, after a series of events that involve a doctor, a sheet with a hole, a public announcement and a case of swapped babies by a Mary who wanted her Joseph.
Saleem Sinai, born to reflect his country, is one of the surviving 420 children,
who being born at midnight, were gifted or cursed with a talent. Saleem loses his after a lie and a nose operation.
As I’ve said above, it’s a fantastic book, in the true sense of the word. Mr Rushdie doesn’t hide any of the uncomfortable situations. On the contrary, he revels in them. When the most ridiculous pieces of trash can be published, Midnight’s Children is not only a breath of fresh air. It’ a “light at the end of the tunnel”.
