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."

　　 特别让我着迷的是，拉什迪在多年之后，给了我长久以来在《百年孤独》之后一直希望再次遇到的、性质相似却又绝非山寨的叙事迷魅。文明史巨流中的家族史谱写，被再次证明为宜于小说家采掘的无尽宝矿。除此以外，我们可以看到魔法在发挥作用、预叙手法在摆布时间制造悬念、代表着宽厚的生命守护者的女性、对叙述的高度执着并因而将对话和描写变成其中的镶嵌物，以及美好的长句。（在我浅薄的阅读经验中，福克纳、马尔克斯和拉什迪是最会写长句的人。）

拉什迪出生在印度的穆斯林家庭，但却在英国接受教育，在文化上，他始终处于一种“边缘”的地位，这使他能以一种全新的视角来观察世界。他以英语为写作语言，小说素材大多来自印度次大陆，他在写作中经常采魔幻现实主义艺术的技巧，把“神话传统、寓言、后现代小说和通俗文化交织在一起”，他的作品可说是东西方文化交汇、碰撞的一幅幅异常生动的图画。

　　 作者毫不介意在主线的故事中不断介入期间，磊落大方地为读者指明他那些既可以被视为字面意义也可当作隐喻或寓言的情节大体上应该如何进行阐释，甚至就连这一双关手法本身，作者都毫不介意将隐喻直截了当地比作天鹅，不停地提醒自己和读者它何时以及为何需要起飞或降落在现实的大地上。如此，读者既可以享受小说魔术师眼花缭乱的技巧，又不必担心会陷入技巧的迷宫而失去“意义”——对今天的人类来说尤其害怕失去的东西——的宝藏，因为迷宫的建造者慷慨地赐予了指南针。
