When Arundhati Roy’s debut novel, The God of Small Things, was published in 1997, it was awarded the prestigious Booker Prize, became an international bestseller, and is now considered a classic of modern literature. Roy comes to CHF to discuss her richly moving second novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, which transports us across a subcontinent on a journey of many years. Humane and sensuous, beautifully told, this extraordinary novel demonstrates on every page the miracle of Arundhati Roy’s storytelling gifts.See upcoming CHF events: http://chicagohumanities.orgHelp us subtitle and translate our videos: http://chf.to/SubtitleCHFSubscribe for more thought-provoking videos: http://chf.to/SubscribeCHFSupport CHF with a donation: http://chf.to/Support-CHFFollow CHF on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Chi_HumanitiesLike CHF on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/chicagohumanitiesSubscribe to the CHF podcast on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/chicago-humanities-festival/id303222991Help us caption & translate this video!http://amara.org/v/8kJX/
