Abstract

Salman Rushdie’s famous hits, Midnight’s Children (1981) and Shame (1983), form part of a literature of richness in language and technical innovation that regenerated the English literature of the eighties. A study of the technique, vocabulary and literary figures, the importance of colours, numbers, and sensations, of parody and metaphor is made in this paper, to highlight the fireworks of a language of magic realism and political fancy and satire.
