The Ministry of Utmost Happiness transports us across a subcontinent on a journey of many years. It takes us deep into the lives of its gloriously rendered characters, each of them in search of a place of safety--in search of meaning, and of love.
In a graveyard outside the walls of Old Delhi, a resident unrolls a threadbare Persian carpet. On a concrete sidewalk, a baby suddenly appears, just after midnight. In a snowy valley, a bereaved father writes a letter to his five-year-old daughter about the people who came to her funeral. In a second-floor apartment, a lone woman chain-smokes as she reads through her old notebooks. At the Jannat Guest House, two people who have known each other all their lives sleep with their arms wrapped around each other, as though they have just met.
A braided narrative of astonishing force and originality, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness is at once a love story and a provocation--a novel as inventive as it is emotionally engaging. It is told with a whisper, in a shout, through joyous tears and sometimes with a bitter laugh. Its heroes, both present and departed, have been broken by the world we live in--and then mended by love. For this reason, they will never surrender.
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。
这本书的评价一定会两极,因为它对印度以外的读者是不友好的,它写的是赤裸裸的印度政治——无论你管它叫性别、阶级,还是什么都好,它就是今天印度最黑暗的故事的总合,你就是无法从里面逃出来,必须在里面生活,必须和它在德里街头,在克什米尔,在形形色色的角落撞个满怀。我喜欢其中的力量。

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,...
