Midnight's Children: A Novel (Modern Library 100 Best Novels)
For all its surrealist elements, Midnight’s Children is a history novel, looking for an answer to the great question history asks us: What is the relationship between society and the individual, between the macrocosm and the microcosm? To put it another way: Do we make history or does it make (or unmake) us?
