精彩书评

"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."

《匹克威克外传》在英国文学史上最主要的贡献是最早以当代现实生活为创作素材，并把平民当做小说的主人公。小说描写当时社会生活的各种场景，几乎描绘到当时社会上所有阶层的人物。本书语言幽默风趣，情节生动曲折，其中既有正义与邪恶的斗争，又有辛辣的政治讽刺；既有妙趣横生的民间故事，又有对社会阴暗面的无情揭露；作家既对上层社会的虚伪庸俗进行了猛烈的抨击，又对下层的穷苦百姓表现出深切的同情

　　 在发生过的事件与记忆、文字叙述之间的暧昧地带，拉什迪用文学来为近代印度塑造了一块坚实的纪念碑，它的尺寸和重量完全可以媲美任何一位伟大作家曾经树立过的纪念物。

难得的是，即使在拉迪处于风暴中心、被迫藏身地下之时，他也没有放下手中的笔。十余年间，他又有一系列新作问世，包括文学评论集《想象的家园》，短篇小说集《东方，西方》，长篇小说《哈伦故事海》、《摩尔人的最后叹息》、《她脚下的土地》和《愤怒》。更可贵的是，评论家认为，他并没有简单地重复自己，每一部作中都有一些出人意外的新东西。
