It is a postcolonial, postmodern and magical realist story told by its chief protagonist, Saleem Sinai, set in the context of historical events.
The 2012 film adaptation features a screenplay by Rushdie and was directed by Deepa Mehta. The film was a nominee for Best Picture and seven other categories at the 1st Canadian Screen Awards, winning two awards.
