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

It is a story about the childhood experiences of a pair of fraternal twins who become victims of circumstance. The book is a description of how the small things in life build up, translate into people's behavior and affect their lives.

我讀的是另一譯本:《卑微的神靈》。不管怎樣我們談論的是同一部小說。它讓我看到一個人怎樣麵對殘酷往事,個人記憶中最錐心的那個部分,怎樣毫不迴避地以生命相迎相撞,再現之(悲劇的産生,悲劇的必然,悲劇中最醜陋和最美麗的部分)。智慧相伴的無畏,痛與愛的交織,又是如...
評分<微物之神> 沉浸其中,如同遊曳於文字的夢境. 童年的迴憶,被無限放大,每一個毛孔都清晰可見。 雙胞胎之間神秘的感應以及無奈的分離,在細膩而美麗的語言裏,被賦予瞭離奇的色彩. 微小但無處不在的敏感情緒。即使感傷,也是懶洋洋的. 原來,世間有如此多的隱秘. 神祗無處不...
評分如果作者可以被稱為其筆下世界的神靈,V.S.奈保爾無疑是一位主神,一位因陀羅,蘇利耶,不,甚至是一位毗濕努:他駕馭雷電的車輦,從聖山頂峰降臨幽暗的國度,揮舞著他的黃金之杵,寶輪和法螺;他居高臨下,他光芒四射,他怒氣衝衝,麵對腳下這片“受傷的文明”指手畫腳,揮斥...
評分故事梗概大概兩百字就能說清楚,而且非常適閤拍成電影。整個書的悲傷情緒太濃重瞭,淹沒性的。老少兩對男女主人公都太無辜瞭,幾近完美受害人。以上都是我通常不贊賞的因素,但是在這本書裏都不覺得太彆扭。隻有要將故事嵌入曆史的強烈動機,以曆史來解釋命運、甚至控訴曆史的...
評分他是誰? 他可能是誰? 失落之神。 微物之神。 雞皮疙瘩和突然微笑的神。 他一次隻能做一件事情。 如果吻她,他就不能和她說話; 如果愛她,他就不能離開; 如果說話,他就不能傾聽; 如果作戰,他就不能贏。 ...
