zachlittrell 's review for:
Midnight's Children
by Salman Rushdie
Rushdie mashes absurdity and reality together. His prose is unrelenting. His narrator gleefully rambles and digresses. The world of magic, the main story, and the parallel story of the Indian political landscape circle around one another till their inevitable collision. It's easy to get lost in the multitude of characters, spanning across generations and nations. Just hold on -- the pay off will come when Rushdie's architecture of story and genealogy is revealed in a touching ending.
