Rohinton Mistry - A Lifestory

Here's a good start for talking about the author: This well known writer came into the writing world with a special way of writing. He wrote about the Parsi people in India. He was born in 1952 in Bombay. What happened to him when he was young really changed how he wrote. At first, he worked in a bank. But, he really wanted to tell stories. He went to Canada in 1975. His first book, a group of short stories called Tales from Firozsha Baag, came out in 1987. People who read books liked it a lot. Because of this, he wrote more books. Such a Long Journey came out in 1991. It was almost chosen for the 1991 Booker Prize. It was made into a movie in 1998. Many people think this book, which is about the 1971 IndoPakistani War, is his best work. His other books, A Fine Balance (1995) and Family Matters (2002), made him even more famous as a great storyteller. His books have characters that feel real, complicated stories, and touch ing looks at social and political things. Another writer once said that his writing had a lot of "deep humanity." He has won many awards. This makes him one of the most important writers ever.
