ARUNDHATI ROY<\/h1>\n

for the book
The Ministry of Extreme Happiness
(Publisher S. Fischer, 2017)<\/h2>\n

\u201eThe Ministry of Extreme Happiness\u201c<\/a> is the second novel by Arundhati Roy, who was born in Shillong, India, in 1961. She was awarded the Booker Prize in 1997 for her literary debut \u201eThe God of Small Things\u201c. In her new novel, published by Fischer-Verlag in 2017 in a translation by Anette Grube, Arundhati Roy confronts readers with the injustices of social conditions and events in India in recent decades. Experimentally designed, with a multitude of narrative strands and finely drawn characters, everything political is interwoven with impressive stories and poetic details and thus unfolds its effect.<\/p>\n
