Salman Rushdie is a renowned novelist and essayist known for his exploration of postcolonial connections and conflicts between Eastern and Western civilizations.

One of his notable achievements is the publication of his second novel, 'Midnight's Children,' which won the prestigious Booker Prize in 1981. The book follows the life of a child born at the moment of India's independence and is gifted with special powers.

Rushdie's most controversial work is 'The Satanic Verses,' published in 1988.
