Extractions: SONG OF INDIA...In her Arranged Marriage , poet Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has fashioned a series of tales of Indians and Indian Americans in which hesitation and suspicion are the order of the day. In "Clothes," a young Indian bride comes to America to join her husband, who is part owner of a convenience store. Jaust as he encourages her liberality, he is killed during a robbery, and she foresees no future but that of a traditional widow back in India. In "Doors," a seemingly successful American marriage is ruined by the arrival of a stifling visitor from India. In the wonderful "The Maid Servant's Story," a young woman on the threshhold of marriage is told a frightening tale about a poor servant who had lived with her family when she was a child. The dark presence of various martial "arrangements" hangs over every tale, each with its own engaging situation. Contributed by Harold Augenbraum, Director, The Mercantile Library of New York.

Extractions: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni writes about what she knows and feels. And she is at her best exploring the themes of love, friendship, assimilation, self-analysis, and discovery. Divakaruni has carved out a very a special place in Indian literature that of being a storyteller of immigrants, especially women, who must face the contradictions between the country they left behind and the one that they must call home. In that aspect, the award-winning author and poet's work always contains autobiographical elements. THE VINE OF DESIRE is a sequel to her earlier novel SISTER OF MY HEART, in which she explores the emotional bond between two cousins, Anju and Sudha, whose lives have been entwined by birth in their native city of Calcutta. We leave them leading separate lives in America and India, respectively. In THE VINE OF DESIRE, devastating events in both of their lives bring them together: Anju in America has had a miscarriage, and Sudha has walked out of her in-laws' and husband's house; she has refused to give in to their command of having an abortion when the fetus was declared to be a girl. She also is escaping from the suffocating embrace of her first love and former boyfriend, who insists on taking care of her and her daughter.

Extractions: Mita is a young woman full of dreams. Recently married to a man chosen by her parents, she is determined to make the most of her life in California. She will go to college. She will work alongside her husband at the store. She will dress like an American. Although she still wears her saris, she prefers the new clothes her husband has given her. "The T-shirt is sunrise-orange, the color I decide, of joy, of my new American life. Across its middle, in large black letters, is written Great America. I was sure the letter referred to the country, but Somesh told me it is the name of an amusement park, a place where people go to have fun. I think it is a wonderful concept, novel."

http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/050897/writer.htm

Extractions: Knight-Ridder Newspapers - (KRT) Every book has its own voice, and one author says her role is to enable the reader to hear it. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni was recuperating from a near-fatal malady when she heard the voice of the central character in her first novel. ''It was a very strong and well-framed voice,'' said Divakaruni, 40, author of ''The Mistress of Spices'' (Anchor Books). ''Normally, I do a lot of revising, but I wrote the first page of this book almost as it appears. Tilo (the narrator and protagonist) had a really strong presence.'' Divakaruni has known many old and wise Indian women who might have inspired the character of Tilottama, who runs a spice shop in Oakland. But the woman, who has special powers, emerged from Divakaruni's imagination and from the dreamlike state she experienced as she hovered between life and death following the birth of her second son. In the book, Tilo moves through different ages and worlds, emerging each time with a new name and identity. In ''The Mistress of Spices,'' the spices exist on two different levels, Divakaruni said. As medicine, they have a tangible influence on those who use them, but the author also bestows on them a mythic dimension that enables them to affect the lives and minds of Tilottama's customers.

Extractions: Sunnyvale author Chitra Divakaruni talks about marriages and stereotypes By Julie Mehta L IKE THE HEROINES of her stories, Sunnyvale author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has come a long way, both figuratively and literally. Recently awarded the 1996 American Book Award for fiction for her short-story collection, Arranged Marriage , Divakaruni is looking forward to the publication of her first novel, The Mistress of Spices , next February. A theme that runs through her acclaimed collection of stories about Indian immigrant women dealing with cultural conflict is that there is no such thing as a perfect life. But to an observer, Divakaruni's appears to come close. In addition to her writing success, she is in the seventh year of a teaching career at Foothill Community College, runs a support hotline for South Asian women, and is a wife and the mother of two small boys. She appears Oct. 10 with dancer Sonali Vepa as part of the Center for Literary Arts' Origins: Dialogues on Writing and Culture program at San Jose State University. Looking right at home among the buckling bookshelves, colorful wall-hangings and family pictures in her tiny office at Foothill, a smiling Divakaruni talks enthusiastically about her first novel, which, like most of her short stories, is set in the Bay Area.
