“I have been writing this book all my life,” Arundhati Roy said in Friday's statement. “Perhaps a mother like mine deserved a writer like me as a daughter. Equally, perhaps a writer like me deserved a mother like her. Even more than a daughter mourning the passing of her mother, I mourn her as a writer who has lost her most enthralling subject."
Roy, 61, has also written the novel “The Ministry of Utmost Happiness” and such nonfiction as “The Algebra of Infinite Justice,” “Walking with the Comrades” and “The Doctor and the Saint." Scribner is calling Roy's memoir an “astonishing, often disturbing and surprisingly funny” book that traces her life from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi."
