This illustration by artist Yann Kebbi was published with The Times Book Review article, “Arundhati Roy’s Return to the Form That Made Her Famous,” published June 9, 2017. The image is part of our collection of editorial illustrations being offered for the first time ever to the public as unframed or framed fine-art prints.
Arundhati Roy’s first novel, “The God of Small Things,” was a commercial and critical sensation. Her new book, “The Ministry of Utmost Happiness,” was her first in 20 years. Book reviewer Karan Mahajan writes, “Set in India in the present decade (with back stories extending into the 1950s), it is a novel about social and political outcasts who come together in response to state-sponsored violence.”
