| Product Description |
'The God of Small Things' is the only fictional novel written by Arundhati Roy. Roy had written some film screenplays prior to her novel, and has since focused on political writings and activism in India - especially in regards to nuclear weapons and the destructive influences of certain technologies on the environment. I can't help but feel that if she were to write a follow-up fictional novel that it would not stand up as well as her first. Much of 'The God of Small Things' praise can probably be attributed to the previously mentioned beautifully-written prose... it's a peculiarly poetic style, relying on repitition and a childlike restructuring of narrative. I think it would wear thin if it were to be revisited. And were it abandoned in favour of a different style, I fear that there wouldn't be much in the way of story or characterisation to hold up another Booker prize-winner.
