An astounding, intensely disturbing novel by one of the world's great writers.
Sir Salman Rushdie has received many awards for his writing, including the European Union's Aristeion Prize for Literature. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres. In 1993 Midnight's Children was judged to be the 'Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize in its first 25 years. In June 2007 he received a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
"Both a howl of rage and a love letter... Rushdie is a very great novelist - our greatest" Guardian "Thrilling writing... A simmering novel, as crammed with passion and potholes as New York streets" Independent "Rushdie is an irrepressibly playful entertainer, as well as a web-weaving storyteller" Financial Times "Rushdie has found inspiration in new York, and pulls apart the city's every nuance in this dark and brilliant comedy" GQ "A writer of breathtaking originality" Financial Times
