Anmeldelser
«A wonderful, rich and humane novel that is safe to call a classic.»
Guardian
«Rushdie’s novel took a post-colonial “empire fights back” spirit, and a deep personal understanding of the politics of Indian partition, and exploded them into something teeming with imaginative life… He inhabits a hybrid consciousness, with a telepathic connection to the other children of midnight, and tells its stories for all he is worth.»
Observer
«The extraordinary alchemy of Midnight’s Children was its miraculous fusion of the fantastical and the historical.»
Evening Standard
«A magical-realist reflection of the issues India faced post-independence including culture, language, religion, and politics… It’s a truly incredible work.»
