The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy, 1998, 336 pgs. This novel has been compared to some Jazz songs because the composition is so deconstructionist in seemingly mismatched fragments; it probably should be read twice to appreciate its tune. Its beautiful how everything is tied up at the end, but a lot of work with details to get there. The writing reminds me of Gabrial Garcia Marquez at times, but can be even more sensuous. Definately material to throw at a Literature class.
