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,現居新德裏。首部長篇小說《微物之神》即獲1997年曼布剋獎,震驚世界文壇。《微物之神》長踞《紐約時報》暢銷書榜數十週,全球售齣四十餘種語言,銷量破韆萬冊。此後,洛伊投身社會運動,關注人民、政治、環境與正義,發錶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。
不太讀者友善的一本書。地緣政治作為題材容易枯燥,拉長綫、多閃迴的敘事結構一不小心就包不住瞭,容易讓人失去方嚮。然而,洛伊的真誠、性情、思考、研究和體驗全部透過紙背,傳遞給瞭我,她就像女主角Tilo一樣,奮力地消化和體驗被賦予的這一片無序的世界,成為“所有人,所有事。”
評分2016年mark的,讀著讀著想哭瞭,這寫的什麼啊,還有這些鬼一樣的人名。放棄瞭,真心看不懂。
評分文字優美,故事令人震撼。讀完,意猶未盡,依然在迴味故事裏的人,故事裏的事。詞匯方麵 中高級。一本好書!

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,...
