21. The God Of Small Things - Recension Rahel och Estha bor i Indien tillsammans med sin mamma, mormor), deras baby aunt och hennes fr¥nskilda son Chacko. Huvudpersonen ¤r flickan Rahel. Recension av Hanna Andersson. http://www.ihanna.nu/bok/bok141.html

The God of Small Things Om den här boken har jag hört både bu och bä, några har hyllat den till skyarna, andra har tyckt att den är utan handling, tråkig, seg och ointressant. Jag har själv gått förbi den i bokaffären flera gånger och fingrat lite på den, läst på baksidan och sedan ställt tillbaka den i hyllan. Jag har inte blivit tillräckligt intresserad av den svenska upplagans baksidestext trots titeln som är helt underbar ("De små tingens gud" på svenska). Men när M lånade ut den till mig kunde jag inte låta bli att läsa den, och det är jag glad för. Först tyckte jag att den påminde om Salman Rushdies "Marken under hennes fötter" (som jag läst till hälften och verkligen kämpade med i höstas men som tråkade ut mig enormt) men även om Arundahati också har ett plottergytter av människor i sin bok, så lyckades hennes historia fascinera mig långt mer än Rushdies gjorde. Hennes historia om de två söta tvillingarna Rahel och Estha (födda 1962) har fått mig att le och skratta högt. Rahel och Estha bor i Ayemenem House någonstans i Indien tillsammans med sin kärleksfulla mamma Ammu, hennes blinda mamma Mammachi (deras intrikata mormor), deras "baby aunt" Baby Koshamma och hennes frånskilda son Chacko. Huvudpersonen är flickan Rahel, och berättelsen handlar dels om hennes barndom tillsammans med tvillingbrodern Estha Mon, dels om hur hon som vuxen återvänder till huset där hon växte upp. Chacko har inte träffat sin lilla dotter sedan hans fru tog ut skilsmässa precis när dottern fötts. Men nu ska de komma på besök till Indien. Man får veta att hans dotter Sophie Mol (tvillingarnas kusin) ska komma på besök med sin mamma från London och bo hos dem i några veckor men att hon aldrig reser därifrån - hon dör plötsligt. Hur gick det till? Hur påverkade hennes död allas deras liv? Inte förens på de sista sidorna förstår man hela sammanhanget i den stora tragedin. Det en massa bubblande glädje i den här boken, en kärlek till landet, färgerna och engelskan. Men också en tragik som är enormt djup. Både barnen och de gamla tanterna är underbart skildrade, komiska men verkliga. Boken är skriven på en för mig ganska svår engelska, men jag tycker det var mödan värt att kämpa sig igenom den. Här finns ordlekar som är ovärderliga, och en humor som jag älskar!

Life so far "When I think back on all the things I have done I think from a very early age, I was determined to negotiate with the world on my own. There were no parents, no uncles, no aunts; I was completely responsible for myself." Arundhati Roy left home at 16 and then lived in a squatters' camp, in a small hut with a tin roof, within the walls of Delhi's Ferozshah Kotla. She made a living selling empty beer bottles. It was six years before she saw her mother again. Eventually, Roy joined the Delhi School of Architecture, moonlighting as an architect's artist. She married a fellow architecture student, Gerard Da Cunha . Their marriage lasted four years. At this stage, neither had a great love for architecture and so they quit. "We went off to Goa because we decided that we would be flower children. We would make cake and sell it on the beach and make a living that away. Gerard was really an incredible person so we could do it for seven months but then I found I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take the tourists." Returning with no money, she sold a ring which a friend had given her at a fruit juice shop for Rs300 and a banana shake. She took a job at the National Institute of Urban Affairs, found a barsati near the dargah at Nizamuddin and hired a bicycle, "It cost Rs2 a day and it was better than going by bus."

Arundhati Roy on Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen The Great Indian Rape-Trick I At the premiere screening of Bandit Queen in Delhi, Shekhar Kapur introduced the film with these words: "I had a choice between Truth and Aesthetics. I chose Truth, because Truth is Pure." To insist that the film tells the Truth is of the utmost commercial (and critical) importance to him. Again and again, we are assured, in interviews, in reviews, and eventually in writing on the screen before the film begins. "This is a True Story." If it weren't the "Truth", what would redeem it from being just a classy version of your run-of-the-mill Rape n' Retribution theme that our film industry churns out every now and then? What would save it from the familiar accusation that it doesn't show India in a Proper Light? Exactly Nothing. It's the "Truth" that saves it. Every time. It dives about like Superman with a swiss knife - and snatches the film straight from the jaws of unsavoury ignominy. It has bought headlines. Blunted argument. Drowned criticism. If you say you found the film distasteful, you're told - Well that's what truth is - distasteful. Manipulative? That's Life - manipulative.

28. Martin Amis (August 25, 1949 - ) Review by Jacqueline Karp Gendre of The God of Small Things. http://www.utc.edu/~engldept/booker/roy.htm

Arundhati Roy Reviews The God of Small Things (1997) Arundhati Roy, with her first novel The God of Small Things (Published in Great Britain by Flamingo, 1997, and in the United States by Random House, 1997), joins a long list of writers with Indian connections to have been awarded the prestigious Booker Prize. Founded in 1969, in an attempt to rescue the literary novel from feared extinction, the award has always been controversial, laying editors and judges alike open to criticism for the over-commercialisation of serious literature. Without it however, would so many authors from the English-speaking world have ever achieved worldwide renown? Writers from Britain, the Irish Republic and countries which are, or have been, in the Commonwealth can enter. Among previous years' winners, several have chosen Indian settings: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Heat and Dust (1975) dealing with a woman travelling through India on the tracks of her grandmother, Paul Scott's Staying On , (1977), which explored the end of the Raj and the identity problems of Anglo-Indians, and Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children (1981), which delved into post-Independence India.

Home Introduction Search Narmada Dams ... About Us THE GREATER COMMON GOOD "If you are to suffer, you should suffer in the interest of the country." - Jawaharlal Nehru, speaking to villagers who were to be displaced by the Hirakud Dam, 1948. I stood on a hill and laughed out loud. I had crossed the Narmada by boat from Jalsindhi and climbed the headland on the opposite bank from where I could see, ranged across the crowns of low, bald hills, the tribal hamlets of Sikka, Surung, Neemgavan and Domkhedi. I could see their airy, fragile, homes. I could see their fields and the forests behind them. I could see little children with littler goats scuttling across the landscape like motorised peanuts. I knew I was looking at a civilisation older than Hinduism, slated - sanctioned (by the highest court in the land) - to be drowned this monsoon when the waters of the Sardar Sarovar reservoir will rise to submerge it. Why did I laugh? Because I suddenly remembered the tender concern with which the Supreme Court judges in Delhi (before vacating the legal stay on further construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam) had enquired whether tribal children in the resettlement colonies would have children's parks to play in. The lawyers representing the Government had hastened to assure them that indeed they would, and, what's more, that there were seesaws and slides and swings in every park. I looked up at the endless sky and down at the river rushing past and for a brief, brief moment the absurdity of it all reversed my rage and I laughed. I meant no disrespect.

WordsWorth Interview with Arundhati Roy Arundhati Roy , author of The God of Small Things (Random House, 1997) is living the dream of most first time novelists. When she finished the book, which took almost five years to write, she hoped to get it published by a small publisher in her native land of India. Fate thought differently. When she brought the manuscript to an Indian editor he immediately loved the book and saw a marketing potential far larger than Ms. Roy had hoped. He contacted an agent in England. Within three days that agent was on Ms. Roy's doorstep asking to represent her. Rights to the book were sold in 18 countries prior to publication - now, 2 months after publication, that number has increased to 21 countries. The God of Small Things is a book, that in all accuracy, can be said to have taken the publishing world by storm. And Ms. Roy, ending a lengthy multi-country tour sounded as if she were feeling a bit battered by the storm when we spoke. An Excerpt from The God... A review by Emily Gutheinz Credit Pradip Kishen When I asked if she were finishing her tour she responded "Yes, just another three more days or four more days. But it feels like another month. First I was all over India, then I was in Norway, Denmark, Holland, and New York..after Toronto I will going back to India."

39. War Is Peace The World Doesn All the beauty of the world—literature, music, art—lies between thesetwo fundamentalist poles. arundhati roy Appeared in Outlook Oct 18. http://www.zmag.org/roywarpeace.htm

War Is Peace The world doesn't have to choose between the Taliban and the US government. All the beauty of the world—literature, music, art—lies between these two fundamentalist poles. Arundhati Roy Appeared in Outlook... Oct 18 As darkness deepened over Afghanistan on Sunday, October 7, 2001, the US government, backed by the International Coalition Against Terror (the new, amenable surrogate for the United Nations), launched air strikes against Afghanistan. TV channels lingered on computer-animated images of Cruise missiles, stealth bombers, Tomahawks, 'bunker-busting' missiles and Mark 82 high-drag bombs. All over the world, little boys watched goggle-eyed and stopped clamouring for new video games. The UN, reduced now to an ineffective abbreviation, wasn't even asked to mandate the air strikes. (As Madeleine Albright once said, "The US acts multilaterally when it can, and unilaterally when it must.") The 'evidence' against the terrorists was shared amongst friends in the 'Coalition'. After conferring, they announced that it didn't matter whether or not the 'evidence' would stand up in a court of law. Thus, in an instant, were centuries of jurisprudence carelessly trashed. Nothing can excuse or justify an act of terrorism, whether it is committed by religious fundamentalists, private militia, people's resistance movements—or whether it's dressed up as a war of retribution by a recognised government. The bombing of Afghanistan is not revenge for New York and Washington. It is yet another act of terror against the people of the world. Each innocent person that is killed must be added to, not set off against, the grisly toll of civilians who died in New York and Washington.
