The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey of many years across the Indian subcontinent—from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war.
It is an aching love story and a decisive remonstration, a story told in a whisper, in a shout, through unsentimental tears and sometimes with a bitter laugh. Each of its characters is indelibly, tenderly rendered. Its heroes are people who have been broken by the world they live in and then rescued, patched together by acts of love—and by hope.
The tale begins with Anjum—who used to be Aftab—unrolling a threadbare Persian carpet in a city graveyard she calls home. We encounter the odd, unforgettable Tilo and the men who loved her—including Musa, sweetheart and ex-sweetheart, lover and ex-lover; their fates are as entwined as their arms used to be and always will be. We meet Tilo’s landlord, a former suitor, now an intelligence officer posted to Kabul. And then we meet the two Miss Jebeens: the first a child born in Srinagar and buried in its overcrowded Martyrs’ Graveyard; the second found at midnight, abandoned on a concrete sidewalk in the heart of New Delhi.
As this ravishing, deeply humane novel braids these lives together, it reinvents what a novel can do and can be. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness demonstrates on every page the miracle of Arundhati Roy’s storytelling gifts.
阿蘭達蒂.洛伊 Arundhati Roy
1959年生,現居新德里。首部長篇小說《微物之神》即獲1997年曼布克獎,震驚世界文壇。《微物之神》長踞《紐約時報》暢銷書榜數十週,全球售出四十餘種語言,銷量破千萬冊。此後,洛伊投身社會運動,關注人民、政治、環境與正義,發表數十篇散文及評論文章。經過二十年醞釀,全球書迷引領期盼的第二部小說《極樂之邦》終於問世。
2016年mark的,读着读着想哭了,这写的什么啊,还有这些鬼一样的人名。放弃了,真心看不懂。
评分以为印度只有光怪陆离的习俗 原来还有那么一片修罗场。复杂动荡背景中的几个人生交错 好似轻描淡写却沉重无比 但也不乏某些人物给故事带来的些许轻松色彩。不厚的书传达了那么丰富的内容 各色格式。果然是本年大热。我在想为什么作者挑那个人物作为第一人称。

正如印度是香料王国、染料大国、宗教熔炉。印度的历史和民生五味杂陈,社会问题如同滚筒洗衣机里的各色织物,不同宗族水火不容。 同为文明古国,与中国不同的是,印度曾完全沦为殖民地。这给印度烙下一身顽疾。洛伊用耙子刮破壮硕的印度象身上的脓疮。或许这么说仍旧远非恰当,...
