The story of the tragic decline of an Indian family whose members suffer the terrible consequences of forbidden love, The God of Small Things is set in the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family -- their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts). When their English cousin and her mother arrive on a Christmas visit, the twins learn that Things Can Change in a Day. That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever. The brilliantly plotted story uncoils with an agonizing sense of foreboding and inevitability. Yet nothing prepares you for what lies at the heart of it.

种姓制度的残忍，印度后殖民时期人民仍然扭曲的心态，政治斗争的肤浅性，父权制社会对女性的极度不公以及被父权社会同化了的女性对另一些女性变本加厉的侵害，爱情、亲情中的love, madness, hope, infinite joy；语言太美了，结构太精妙了，余音袅袅，不绝如缕。Velutha被捕那段真的是heart-rending，但警察和Baby Kochamma都不是罪魁祸首，无法成为读者真正痛... 种姓制度的残忍，印度后殖民时期人民仍然扭曲的心态，政治斗争的肤浅性，父权制社会对女性的极度不公以及被父权社会同化了的女性对另一些女性变本加厉的侵害，爱情、亲情中的love, madness, hope, infinite joy；语言太美了，结构太精妙了，余音袅袅，不绝如缕。Velutha被捕那段真的是heart-rending，但警察和Baby Kochamma都不是罪魁祸首，无法成为读者真正痛恨的对象，他们让人想起无数普通纳粹士兵，想起Kurtz和无数残暴的殖民者，都是ideology的受害者吧。 (展开)
