The God of Small Things:Roy´s writing and its effects

Describe the main features of Roy´s writing and show how they are effective. "And the Air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. The Big Things lurk unsaid inside" (p.136) "The God of Small Things" Since the title of the novel is read, the invisible thread connecting the first page with the last one is presented. The whole book deals with …

…a story that examines things very closely but also from a very, very distant point, almost from geological time and you look at it and see a pattern there. A pattern...of how in these small events and in these small lives the world intrudes. And because of this, because of people being unprotected.. the world and the social machine intrudes into the smallest, deepest core of their being and changes their life." (Arundhati Roy)
