This book is telling about the saleem story. he is one of the 1001 childrens who borns in the midnight hours.children who all have special gifts, children with whom Saleem is telepathically linked.This is literary fiction in what I’d call the magical realism style, and it seems like one of the best novels about multi-cultural India during and since its moment of independence from the British Empire.
Mostly, it’s a work of rare genius and terrific humor by a master stylist.
