Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy (b. 1961) spent her childhood in Kerala, had a bohemian time in the middle, and later moved to Delhi.

Arundhati Roy had a dream debut in fiction-writing with The God of Small Things which amassed large royalties and fame, and went on to win the Booker. Her prose is replete with metaphors and other stylistic quirks, which give a fantastic aura to the realistic setting.

Since then, she has been involved in political activism and writes essays and non-fiction.

Arundhati Roy won the Booker prize in 1997.
