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.

美国人喜欢这种讲印度坏话的小说吧,我看起来感觉贼无聊,实在看不下去
评分文字优美,故事令人震撼。读完,意犹未尽,依然在回味故事里的人,故事里的事。词汇方面 中高级。一本好书!
评分对于克什米尔和印度的地缘政治我是一窍不通,不过单纯作为一个伤痕累累的挽歌本书还是很有可看性的

评分好的作品首先在于想象力,其次是生命的提炼。
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,...
