The God of Small Things (1997) is a novel by Indian author Arundhati Roy. The book won the Booker Prize in 1997. One of the chapters in the book is also called "The God of small things".
The God of Small Things is Roy's first book, and as of 2010[update], is her only novel. Completed in 1996, the book took four years to write. The potential of the story was first recognized by Pankaj Mishra, an editor with HarperCollins, who sent it to three British publishers. Roy received half-a-million pounds in advances, and rights to the book were sold in 21 countries.
While generally praised, the book did receive some criticism for its verbosity and controversial subject matter

評分故事梗概大概两百字就能说清楚,而且非常适合拍成电影。整个书的悲伤情绪太浓重了,淹没性的。老少两对男女主人公都太无辜了,几近完美受害人。以上都是我通常不赞赏的因素,但是在这本书里都不觉得太别扭。只有要将故事嵌入历史的强烈动机,以历史来解释命运、甚至控诉历史的...
評分我不知道是不是也有人与我一样,容易在一种文字游戏中迷失方向。 只能说,洛伊的文字是有魔力的。这个故事如同一座迷宫,或者一个魔方,时间、空间、人物、顺序,都是被打乱的,混淆的,切割的。我无法用确切的文字去描述一个大概的走势——这不是亵渎与否的问题,而仅...
