ARUNDHATI ROY
Indian actor, screenwriter and novelist (1960 - )
|
May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month. The days are long and
humid. The river shrinks and black crows gorge on bright mangoes
in still, dustgreen trees. Red bananas ripen. Jackfruits burst.
Dissolute bluebottles hum vacuously in the fruity air. Then they
stun themselves against clear windowpanes and die, fatly baffled
in the sun.
