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."

難得的是,即使在拉迪處於風暴中心、被迫藏身地下之時,他也沒有放下手中的筆。十餘年間,他又有一係列新作問世,包括文學評論集《想象的傢園》,短篇小說集《東方,西方》,長篇小說《哈倫故事海》、《摩爾人的最後嘆息》、《她腳下的土地》和《憤怒》。更可貴的是,評論傢認為,他並沒有簡單地重復自己,每一部作中都有一些齣人意外的新東西。

拉什迪齣生在印度的穆斯林傢庭,但卻在英國接受教育,在文化上,他始終處於一種“邊緣”的地位,這使他能以一種全新的視角來觀察世界。他以英語為寫作語言,小說素材大多來自印度次大陸,他在寫作中經常采魔幻現實主義藝術的技巧,把“神話傳統、寓言、後現代小說和通俗文化交織在一起”,他的作品可說是東西方文化交匯、碰撞的一幅幅異常生動的圖畫。

對遲子建的尊敬來自10年前閱讀她那部《嚮著白夜旅行》時的體驗。作為一名東北人,確切地說是黑龍江人,那是我第一次透過文字感受到瞭這片土地的厚重和風情。後來又陸續讀到遲子建的其他作品,我開始懷疑自己是否有足夠的理由公開我的地域屬性。跟同樣是黑龍江人的遲子建相比,我對黑龍江的陌生竟然猶如擦肩而過的路人。
