The novel “Children of the midnight” received the Buker prize three times: in 1981 as the best novel, in 1993 and 2008-on the 25th and 40th anniversary of the award as the best work of all that received it. This is an allegory novel, a story about the acquisition of India’s independence and a generation that was born in a free country. This is a myth, and a parable, and a phantasmagoria, where tragic and comic, satire and pathos are interwoven, an adventure and drama, a multifaceted narrative telling about the life of the protagonist, Salem Sinai, and partly Pakistan from 1910 to 1976.
