南鵲寫了書評。

Arundhati Roy 以《微物之神》揚名文壇。這本The Cost of Living ，收錄兩篇時事評論，雖非說部，卻與 Roy 的成名作相互呼應。兩本作品，一以貫之的思維是批評 “國家神話、種族中心主義這樽「大神」” （《後殖民文學：從邊緣到中心》，頁341）。或者，以Roy 自己的話：We have to fight specific wars in specific ways. Who knows, perhaps that’s what the twenty-first century has in store for us. The dismantling of the big. Big bombs, big dams, big ideologies . . . big mistakes. Perhaps it will be the century of the small. Perhaps right now, this very minute, there is a small god up in heaven readying herself for us (12).
