Summary/Abstract: In light of the Macedonian translation of Salman Rushdie's most emblematic work to date, Midnight Children's, this text examines the foundational role this novel plays not only in terms of post-colonial Indian literature, but also in regards to other narrative hybrids: historiography and its types, autobiography and pseudo-autobiography, particularly when foregrounding myth, orality and sentient memory as the pillars of intimate mythologies that take on and reshape reality and history - 'the givens' - within individual memory.
