Lectures Photo: Micheline Rochette Rohinton Mistry November 13, 1995 Winner of the 1995 Giller Prize "He tried to select a chicken for Roshan's birthday. It was hard for him to tell under all those feathers, as the shopkeeper held up bird after bird for inspection. ‘Look at this one, seth, good one, this. See under wing. Spread it, spread it, does not hurt the murgi, not to worry. See, poke here. How thick, how much meat.' Gustad watched, thoroughly confused, squeezing and prodding to pretend he knew what he was doing. But each chicken was very much like the next. When he finally approved one, it was the vocal protestations of the bird, seemingly louder than the others, that made him decide. He would have been the first to admit his inexperience with poultry. The number of times he had been able to afford chicken for his family in the last twenty years, he could count on the fingertips of one hand without using up the digits. Chicken was definitely not his area of expertise." BIOGRAPHY Born in Bombay in 1952, Rohinton Mistry immigrated to Canada in 1975 and was employed in a Toronto bank. He began writing stories in 1983, while attending the University of Toronto, and, soon after, won two Hart House literary prizes and

Such a Long Journey - Rohinton Mistry Emily Myer / The Brunswickan Rohinton Mistry's Such a Long Journey is a fascinating book, a deserving winner of several prizes: the Governor General's Award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book, and the SmithBook/Books in Canada First Novel Award. The story of Gustad Noble, a moral man trying to cope with life's difficulties, is both involving and multi-layered. The novel is set in Bombay in 1971. Gustad Noble, the protagonist, is a family man, "a man swimming in the tidewater of his fifth decade of life." And life seems good. His older son, Sohrab, has done well on his university exams. He is happy in his home, although his wife, Dilnavaz, complains that the blackout paper, which Gustad put up in 1962 during India's war with China, blocks the light from the rooms and attracts spiders and cobwebs. His daughter, Roshan, is about to celebrate her ninth birthday and Gustad is planning a family dinner, the kind of celebration he remembers from his own childhood, before his father's bookstore went bankrupt. But Gustad has just received a troubling letter from an old friend, Major Jimmy Bilimoria, whose request for aid will plunge Gustad into the morass of Indian politics and conflicting loyalties. In the letter, Major Bilimoria asks Gustad to receive a package for him. And, as if the letter itself is harbinger of disaster, other problems begin piling up. Sohrab refuses to go to ITT, the Indian Institute of Technology; the father and son quarrel and Sohrab leaves home while Gustad disowns his son. Roshan falls ill. The contents of the package jeopardize Gustad's job as a bank clerk. And the tranquillity of the family apartment itself is threatened when the municipal government requisitions some land in order to widen a road.

Go to this issue's Table of Contents. A P R I L 2 In accomplished stories and novels South Asian writers who are exiles in Canada are re-creating the worlds they left behind by Jamie James (The online version of this article appears in two parts. Click here to go to part two. S OME of the finest English-language fiction of our time is being written in Canada. Perhaps the most famous of that country's authors is Michael Ondaatje, the author of The English Patient, who was born in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. A writer whose work deserves to be as well known as Ondaatje's is Rohinton Mistry. One of the most important events in my life as a reader was my discovery of A Fine Balance (1995), Mistry's second novel, which is set in an unnamed city that appears to be Bombay, the author's native city, in 1975. This was the year that Mistry emigrated to Toronto and the year that Indira Gandhi proclaimed a state of emergency, setting herself up as India's virtual dictator. The novel has four major characters: two tanners, uncle and nephew, untouchables who flee the caste violence in their village to make a better life for themselves as tailors; a proud middle-aged widow who defies her family in her determination to remain independent; and a dreamy young man from the mountains whose family sends him to study in the city. The four of them meet on page eight, and their lives intertwine with gathering dramatic intensity as the city descends into chaos in a narrative of superb Chekhovian irony spiced with earthy wit. Imagine four fully formed characters! Most of the new American and British novels I see have only one character to whom things happen a shadowy stand-in for the author.

14. Rohinton Mistry Became An Author Almost By Chance The author discusses his novel, 'A Fine Balance'. http://lubbockonline.com/news/062697/rohinton.htm

Rohinton Mistry became an author almost by chance By Mary Mazzocco Knight-Ridder Newspapers Rohinton Mistry thinks carefully before he speaks; his voice is soft, but he can deliver a line with a surprising bite. The Canadian author was a Booker Prize finalist for his latest novel, ''A Fine Balance,'' recently released in paperback (Vintage, $15). It's about four people caught up in India's 1975 state of emergency, when Indira Gandhi suspended many aspects of the constitution in order to hold onto power after being implicated in a scandal. Mistry gradually builds a picture of two tailors, their widowed employer and the college student who is her boarder. It's the antithesis of the Grisham-type thriller, and as the story subtly but powerfully develops, it's hard to remember it isn't reportage. ''People have gotten used to reading more minimalist stuff,'' Mistry says. ''So when they read something like this, with this level of detail, they assume it must be nonfiction. It's amazing how easily we get trained by the conventions of our time.'' Like Dina, the widow in his story, Mistry grew up in a Parsi family in an Indian city by the sea in his case, Bombay, though he is careful not to identify the city in ''A Fine Balance.'' But the book is not autobiography: He left India by ''pure coincidence'' about a month after the state of emergency was declared, to pursue a career in Toronto.

Rohinton Mistry, "Writer from Elsewhere" Jennifer Takhar [takharjennifer@hotmail.com] This essay has been translated by the author from the original French. Rohinton Mistry is yet another "writer from elsewhere" as Rushdie might put it. Born in Bombay in 1952, of Parsi origin, Mistry emigrated to Canada in 1975. On leaving Bombay, the city which stands so tall in all his writings, Mistry confesses, in the literary journal Rungh (1993) that his departure from India was partly encouraged by the expectations of his peers, especially those of his generation: After finishing college in Bombay or elsewhere in India, one had to go abroad for higher studies. If possible, one had to find a job after finishing a Masters or a Ph.D. in the States or in England, find a job and settle in the country. That's how success is defined by Indians. So that is why I say that coming to Canada was in some ways decided for me. [Quoted in Mehfil, November 1996.] In 1987 Penguin Books Canada published his collection of short stories, Tales from Firozsha Baag , which together describe the daily life of the Parsi residents in a Bombay apartment block. The stories concern themselves with the tribulations and the idiosyncrasies of Bombay Parsis.
