Rohinton Mistry is considered to be one of the foremost authors of Indian heritage writing in English. Residing in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Mistry belongs to the Parsi Zoroastrian religious minority.
Mistry’s first novel, Such a Long Journey (1991), brought him national and international recognition. Mistry’s subsequent novels have achieved the same level of recognition as his first. His second novel, A Fine Balance (1995), concerns four people from Bombay who struggle with family and work against the backdrop of the political unrest in India during the mid-1970s. The book won Canada’s Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. It was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for the Booker Prize.

经历巨变之后的人生是否就意味着对世事渐渐麻木,比如不屑诗文,罔顾风物,美人在侧亦不为所动?唯念着心中的愿望,甚至懒于遮遮掩掩、包包藏藏的含蓄,将之灌溉成连当事人本身都兴趣缺缺的执念?寥寥几笔写不尽伊什瓦一生的辛酸,但是在蒂娜家时,无论是最开始的互相猜忌,还...
评分文/橘川 (刊于《世界博览》,2015第13期) 小的时候读余华的《活着》,几次哽咽,对着书页充满疑惑:一个人在面对苦难时,是否真的有“无限”的承受能力?当生命中的一切被剥夺而去,唯剩“活着”这个纯粹的本质,人竟然还能发出一种戏谑的笑声,在我看来是伟大而又悲壮的。“...
评分小说是一个民族的秘史,是一个国家隐形、细微的记录。相较之下,不少教科书对一国一地的记载都大而无当,只有枯燥的人名和冰冷的年代数字组成的机械事件,以及地名和物产的简单罗列;而那些花花绿绿的旅游书,很多则极尽个人抒情和拼命美化之能事,浮光掠影地走马观花,与真实...

评分加拿大籍印度裔作家罗因顿·米斯特里的小说《微妙的平衡》中文版的封腰推荐语称其为“印度版《活着》四重奏”,但读完全书以后,我感觉《活着》根本不足以形容其厚重,或者称其为印度版《悲惨世界》更为合适与贴切,而且这种悲惨不是属于某一个人的,而是属于所有人的。 印度...

Written with compassion, humour, and insight, A Fine Balance is a vivid, richly textured, and powerful novel written by one of the most gifted writers of our time.
读完以后心里很难受。对于om和ish来说,活着比死了更难受。啊啊啊啊...真的看得好难受。
评分Finally the end. All tragedies. But they still face up their difficult destiny.寒假读完 写的很棒很真实 读的过程太心酸 都是怎么样在活着啊。
评分600多页读到吐血,中译本700多页。是好书,谁又不是时代浪潮下的细沙呢,人生真的太苦了,即使每个人都是被命运摆弄的棋子,出身好坏还是决定了一切,保持善良都那么无力。一开始觉得像印度版的平凡的世界,但这世界一直在变差。满纸荒唐言,一把辛酸泪,最可贵的要数maneck的幽默了
评分GR 4.31 (10,000+) 此书是印度主题小说中综合评价及阅读人数皆数一数二的畅销作品,写作背景为上世纪四十年代至八十年代的印度,涉及一系列重大社会政治事件及各种阶层背景的人物,算是一个了解当代印度社会的万花筒。不过,这是一部血淋淋的悲剧, Make sure you have the stomach for it ~~~
评分印度浮世绘 宗教政治种姓制度种种皆荒诞无比 故事构架完美且真实 在悲惨世界中寻求微妙平衡 后劲强大 读的时候还好 读完后再回顾全书 只剩血淋淋的绝望
