Reviews

Praise for Midnight’s Children

“Midnight’s Children sounds like a continent finding its voice.”—The New York Times
 
“In Salman Rushdie, India has produced a glittering novelist—one with startling imaginative and intellectual resources, a master of perpetual storytelling.”—The New Yorker

“A marvelous epic . . . Rushdie’s prose snaps into playback and flash-forward . . . stopping on images, vistas, and characters of unforgettable presence. Their range is as rich as India herself.”—Newsweek

“Burgeons with life, with exuberance and fantasy . . . Rushdie is a writer of courage, impressive strength, and sheer stylistic brilliance.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Pure story—an ebullient, wildly clowning, satirical, descriptively witty charge of energy.”—Chicago Sun-Times

“This brash, knowing, massive, aggressive novel is to modern India what Günter Grass’s The Tin Drum is to modern Germany.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Dazzling . . . In combining past with present, nostalgic realism with mythic overtones, specific detail with complex and binding narrative devices, Rushdie has achieved a magnificent and unique work of fiction.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
