About the Author

Rohinton Mistry is an Indian-born Canadian novelist celebrated for his richly detailed depictions of Indian society, particularly during times of political and social upheaval. Born in 1952 in Mumbai, Mistry immigrated to Canada in 1975, where he pursued literature and began his writing career. His acclaimed works, including Such a Long Journey, A Fine Balance, and Family Matters, explore themes of identity, displacement, family, and the struggles of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Writing in English, Mistry has a gift for capturing the complexities of Indian life while speaking to universal human experiences. His tagline—“Stories of displacement and belonging”—reflects his exploration of cultural identity and diaspora. Mistry has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize multiple times and won international recognition for his compassion, detail, and storytelling mastery. Rohinton Mistry remains one of the most respected voices in contemporary fiction, bridging India and the global literary stage.
