The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey 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. Braiding together the lives of a diverse cast of characters who have been broken by the world they live in and then rescued, patched together by acts of love--and by hope, here Arundhati Roy reinvents what a novel can do and can be.
Arundhati Roy is the author of The God of Small Things, which won her the Booker Prize in 1997. Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers and Walking with the Comrades are two nonfiction books she has published. Roy was awarded the Lannan Fund Cultural Freedom Prize in 2002.
