Salman Rushdie was born in Bombay, India in 1947 and received an Indian and British education. He wrote several novels, books for children, and works of literary criticism. His 1988 novel The Satanic Verses was deemed blasphemous and resulted in Ayatollah Khomeini issuing a fatwa, or death sentence, against Rushdie in 1989, forcing him into hiding. Rushdie's 1981 novel Midnight's Children, which mixes imagination and history through different narrative styles and stories, won the prestigious Booker Prize. It features the protagonist Saleem Sinai, who was born on August 15, 1947 and has special powers, comparing his life to jars of chutney.
