A brief history of Mistry: : Born Bombay, India : Immigrates to Canada at the age of 23 : Publication of first book, 11 connected short stories entitled Swimming Lessons and Other Stories from the Firozsha Bag : Publication of first novel, Such a Long Journey : Publication of A Fine Balance : Publication of Family Matters Quiet spoken, modest and absolutely sure of himself, Rohinton Mistry put a kibosh on our interview, unwittingly upsetting the balance of my carefully laid plans. I had determined to speak with him in the well-appointed bar of the hotel where he was staying, a place where I've spoken with many authors, including Bernard Cornwell Timothy Findlay and J.A. Jance "It's too noisy here," Mistry said, after an appraising look around. "Can we go somewhere more quiet?" Not one to begin with an author ill at ease, I led him upstairs to the convention level, where we found a couple of chairs in a quiet corner. I dragged a service tray between us where I propped my tape recorder, an analog device. Before we'd gotten started, we were joined by

Search Advanced Search Rohinton Mistry Cancels U.S. Book Tour Due to Racial Profiling November 05, 2002 This past weekend, Rohinton Mistry, one of Canada's most celebrated authors, announced that he was canceling the remainder of his U.S. book tour due to what he characterized as racial profiling in American airports. "He was singled out at airports because of the color of his skin," said Paul Bogaards, director of publicity for Knopf, Mistry's publisher. "This is the way of the world now, and, after a time, Rohinton Mistry became uncomfortable." Mistry's latest book, Family Matters , which details the struggles of a father and his children in modern Bombay, was a Booker Prize nominee and a Book Sense September/October 2002 76 pick. Mistry is also the author of A Fine Balance , which was a March/April 2000 Book Sense 76 pick. Mistry's troubles with American airport security began in early October, when he was conducting the first leg of his U.S. book tour promoting the novel, said Bogaards. Traveling with his wife, Mistry found that "he wasn't being stopped just once [at airports], he was being stopped two or three times," Bogaards told BTW . "This happened repeatedly. So, he decided to pull back. We support him fully in his decision."

A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry Rohinton Mistry manages to bring forth the horror and devastation wreaked by the Emergency in all its vividness through 'A Fine Balance'. The novel is both a commentary on the political and social environment of the time as well as a beautiful tragedy. The story is based in 1975 in an unidentified city near the sea in India, riddled with poverty and teeming with beggars. Mistry places four pivotal characters in this squalid city. Mrs. Dina Dalal, 40-ish, poor and widowed after only three years of marriage. Determined to remain financially independent and to avoid a second marriage, she takes in a boarder and two Hindu tailors to sew dresses for an export company. Maneck, is the son of an old school friend of Dina's who has been sent to college because the family business is failing; and the two tailors are Ishvar and his nephew Om, who have left their village in an effort to escape the repressive caste system. The novel revolves around the interactions between these four characters. Their dreams and ambitions and the trials that they must face in life in order to achieve these. For four months, these four characters become a family. Eating and sleeping together, sharing their dreams, meals and living space. Their relationships with each other transcend inter-caste problems and barriers of caste, religion and monetary status. The cramped apartment becomes a haven from the political and social turmoil of the time. The four face various unpleasant encounters and are repeatedly saved from these by a quaint character, the Beggarmaster. The backdrop of the novel through all this is the Emergency period and the callousness of Indira Gandhi's government.

LITERATUR zurück BUCHKRITIK Von Selina Nayyar Rohinton Mistry Das Gleichgewicht der Welt "Dina Dalal gestattete sich selten, mit Bedauern oder Verbitterung auf ihr Leben zurückzublicken oder sich zu fragen, wieso es gerade diesen Verlauf genommen und sie um die strahlende Zukunft betrogen hatte.." "Das Gleichgewicht der Welt" eines der bewegendsten Bücher über Indien, geschrieben von einem Auslandsinder der die Eindrücke, die er in Bombay während der Regierungszeit Indira Gandhis sammelte, in einem beeindruckenden Roman verarbeitet. Rohinton Mistry wurde 1952 in Bombay geboren. 1975 wanderte er nach Kanada aus wo er in einer Bank in Toronto beschäftigt war. 1983 begann er sich der Schriftstellerei zu widmen. Für "Das Gleichgewicht der Welt" (Originaltitel: A fine balance) das 1995 erschien gewann Mistry den kanadischen Staatspreis den Giller Preis. Rohinton Mistry beginnt seine Geschichte im Jahre 1975 und führt sie mit nur vier Hauptcharakteren über 860 Seiten bis ins Jahr 1984 fort. Das Buch schildert die Geschichte von vier Menschen die sich in Bombay durchs Leben schlagen und deren Schicksale miteinander verknüpft werden. Dina Dalal ist die Heldin des Buches, sie wehrt sich gegen die festgefahrenen indischen Traditionen. Dina lehnt arrangierte Ehen grundsätzlich ab und sucht sich ihren Lebenspartner selber aus. Das Liebesglück dauert allerdings nicht lange denn nach nur drei Ehejahren verliert sie ihren Mann durch einen Verkehrsunfall. Sie weigert sich erneut zu heiraten, und lebt von nun an als Witwe alleine in ihrem Appartement. Da sie auch finanziell unabhängig bleiben und nicht auf die Unterstützung ihres tyrannischen Bruders angewiesen sein will, macht sie sich selbständig und versucht sich durch Schneidertätigkeiten über Wasser zu halten.
