The lives of these twins are destroyed by the 'Love Laws' that that describes: who should be loved, and how. This debut novel of the famous Indian writer, Arundhati Roy is a story about the childhood experiences of two fraternal twins. Taking the series as a whole, it also confirms two things: that narrative nowadays is generically highly hybrid and increasingly cross-media and that an understanding of the processes of writing and reading 'contemporary classic' (or at least 'currently famous') fiction cannot be separated - yet must be distinguished - from the processes of making and marketing books and films.The God of Small Things was written in the year 1997. Highly finished and pleasantly handleable as books in their own right, they gesture accommodatingly to both words and worlds beyond. In method as in subject matter, these guides move freely on the interface between print culture and multimedia. An important feature is the fully referenced bibliographies, including reviews and copious website addresses - the latter ranging from fanzines and authors' and publishers' own sites to academic discussion lists and online journals. Given the space, there are remarkably balanced film/novel comparisons of the most well-known examples. The books are invaluable for gathering out-of-the-way or ephemeral comment from TV and radio interviews and the web as well as from literary reviews. And at best it goes a fair way towards reshuffling those categories and redrawing the boundaries.
