GOD OF SMALL THINGS, the book has little to do with any
religious god and more to do with life which punishes, slaps, cajoles and embraces small people. Small people with small dreams located in far off small towns and forever
caught in small fixes. What tingles your I-read-English-novels mind frame is the book's language; a product of
bindaas experimentation that would not be permitted to an
average writer . But Roy clearly doesn't even come close to this. The book will let you picturize every word and clause
instead of offering a descriptive format. You can not possibly link Estha or Rahel to anything which is called
happy go lucky. The narration drifts you like a tide and
at the end of the book you reach your destination- nowhere.
It is clearly not time pas reading material but a unique
humorous yet intense story that any imaginative mind will
appreciate. go ahead, slash your stereotype reading ideas
and indulge yourself into a unique experience.
