What other literary works may have influence the writer of midnight's children?

Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children" is influenced by various literary works, including Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" with its magical realism, and works by James Joyce, such as "Ulysses," which inspired Rushdie's experimentation with language and narrative structure. Additionally, the blending of history and fiction in Rushdie's novel reflects the influence of Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart."
