I give insights into Rushdie’s novel through these different modes of literary and cultural criticism to emphasize the impossibility of a one-sided analysis. As it must be considered through different filters of interpretation, so the novel can be understood on multiple levels, because, just as India and its people, the narrative presents a world which is divided, multicultural and complex.33enMidnight's ChildrenPostmodernismPostcolonialismPoststructuralismMagical RealismSalman RushdiediplomamunkaDEENK Témalista::Irodalomtudomány
