Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Twenty-five years after its publication, Midnight’ s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time.

Kulturminister Abid Raja er blitt kalt breial, brautende, poserende og dominerende. Hans liv har handlet mye om det motsatte: Om å skjule smertene og handikappet han ble født med, å skjule seg for volden og mobbingen – og å skjule kjærligheten til den han elsker. Skyldfølelsen hans – en blanding av skam og frykt, har hindret ham i å kjenne på de andre følelsene han som menneske er utstyrt med. Alt han har kjent, er et voldsomt sinne. Da han som voksen oppsøkte en erfaren, kvinnelig psykolog for å få hjelp til å beherske temperamentet sitt, spurte hun: «Har du noen idé om hvor det sinnet kommer fra? Er det noe annet i livet ditt som du egentlig er sint for?» Dette er den brutalt ærlige historien om Abid Rajas turbulente klassereise, hans mangeårige kamp for kjærligheten og den smertefulle frigjøringen fra skam, skyld og utenforskap.
