Salman RUSHDIE's 25th Anniversary Edition of Midnight's Children (1981)

VINTAGE has come out with a special 25th anniversary edition of Salman Rushdie’s breakthrough novel, Midnight’s Children (1981), with a new introduction by the author, looking back at how this great novel was written and the reaction it provoked when first published in 1981. Definitely a novel worth rereading.
