THE MATTER OF IDENTITY IN SALMAN RUSHDIE’S MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN
THE MATTER OF IDENTITY IN SALMAN RUSHDIE’S MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: The perceived identity of a writer depends, among others, on his or her inclusion in a group of “national” creators. In this respect, Salman Rushdie’s work is frequently considered as thematically hybrid, since, within the same narrative structure, it corroborates Indian and European themes and it uses multiple points of view, as well as a variety of genres. The present approach is constructed as an analysis of the matter of identity in the novel Midnight’s Children, where individual evolution and the historical identity of post-colonial India are intertwined.
