Neighborhood
The languid, tropical village of Ayemenem in Kerala, India is the setting for the Booker Prize winning debut novel The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, published in 1997. Within the semi-autobiographical frame of her story, Roy weaves a complex tale, encompassing family dysfunction, religious persecution, political turmoil, and love across forbidden barriers, bringing the reader into intimate contact with the pains and passions that are laying in the subterranean layers of many people’s lives, no matter where they live. Her eloquent, vivid, and personalized disposition of these troublesome subjects no doubt accounts for the huge popularity of the work.
The real village, where Roy in fact grew up, is actually called Aymanam. A village of about 35,000 people, Aymanam was once a deeply forested area. The forests are now largely gone, but waters from the nearby Lake Vembanad and the River Meenachi still sustain the traditional rice paddy agriculture of the region that forms the basis of most inhabitant’s livelihoods. Roy’s book has now brought worldwide attention to this small town, and a large influx of tourists and visitors come each year in hopes of resolving between the truth and fiction of her story or simply to look at the place for themselves and enjoy the verdant scenery and slow pace of life
