Which book by Salman Rushdie won the 1981 Booker Prize?
Midnight's Children
Salman Rushdie won the 1981 Booker Prize for Midnight's Children. The novel tells the story of Saleem Sinai, born at the stroke of midnight on 15 August 1947, whose life is linked with the history of independent India.
The book was later named the "Booker of Bookers" (1993) and the "Best of the Booker" (2008) as the best novel among the prize winners.
Shame (1983) was shortlisted for the Booker but did not win; The Satanic Verses (1988) was also shortlisted and later led to a fatwa against Rushdie; The Golden House was published in 2017.
Hence, the answer is Midnight's Children.
